> Vienna had its own tarock type that did not survive WW1
It is/was played there, but not exclusively.
> Lederhosen were once popular all over the Alpine Region, so I'm sure that they were popular in Vienna, too.
True, in the Alpine regions of Austria, Switzerland and Bavaria they are still somewhat common, mostly in the rural parts. Vienna has never been Alpine nor rural.
- a_bonobo 11y ago>It is/was played there, but not exclusively. I don't think the author ever implied that tarock or Lederhosen were exclusive to Vienna, but that both were common there at the time, so Freud acquired both to fit in. I think you're reading too much into the text.
- datalist 11y agoWhat I was referring to is that neither is Tarock a local game nor were lederhosen common in Vienna, both which is implied by the article. That can come to show how well the author did his research.
