Tripsdrill is known for its theme being based on local stories, history and folklore from the
Swabian region in Germany it is situated in. 'Hals-über-Kopf' is based on a centuries old Swabian folk talke called "
Die Sieben Schwaben", being German for 'The Seven Swabians'. The seven Swabians are armed with a long spear and encounter 'monsters' and dangers albeit they often decide and come to conclusions without thinking too much.
