The designation of Shvabiya or Swabia rises from nominal svevy (or sveby). One of the German tribes is called so. Naming svevy (sveby) originates from the Latin word of suebi (suevi), whose value is not accurately established. Svevy are known from the I century before Christ. From X century to 1313 age they had their independent state.

The most glorious Swabian city was Augsburg, but unfortunately it was bombed into oblivion. One of the supposedly richest man of the Renaissance, Jakob Fugger, was born there.

I'm from there. There are still many historic places in Augsburg that looks like before it got bombed.
People from Augsburg tend to be a bit rude sometimes. That's deep in our genes as we were always mad about Munich being the bigger and more successful town in Bavaria.
