Do you mean stereotypes? the HRE wasn't a video game with "specialities" for each civ.

knights of the teutonic order? landsknecht? zweihander? special relationship with the pope?

Mostly incompetence as the nobles were more concerned with hunting and lluxuries than with actual governance

I've heard that that many members of the Teutonic Order came from Westphalia. But I have no source at hand to prove that.
Landsknechte were mainly recruited from Swabia and the Rhineland. And the two handed sword was also used mainly by them I think. The Staufer dynasty was very famous for being often in conflict the pope and the northern italian cities.

This.

The supposed specialization of Prussia on their military also didn't happen until the rule of Frederick William I in 1713, so for 90% of the Empires' existence your stereotype doesn't apply.

Kind of a related question, when did the different regions of Germany begin to develop their distinct cultures that are apparent today? From the reading that I've done, I've gotten the impression that much of what is considered traditional German culture often only dates back to the 1800s, and I'm guessing this is the case for the much of the rest of Europe as well. In, say, the High and Late Middle Ages, how culturally developed was the typical "region" in Western/Central Europe?

I just want a tldr of how each of them are different

Culture for example

>>3289326
Well, the problem is, that the HRE existed for 900 years.If we focus on the later period, most of the cultural differences would be based on religion and regional resources as well as the cultural difference between cities and rural areas.
Another thing would be language. High German (south) went through multiple constant/vowel shifts, while Low German (north) didn't, and sounds more like Dutch/English.

the cultural differences are determined by multiple factors, that are vague and independant of political borders, and anyway aren't all that significant

maybe cont.

A few examples:
Some cultural differences, would come from the influence of neighbouring countries, the Rhineland and parts of Southern Germany have certain French influences (or were occupied by France prior to 1806), cuisine is somewhat lighter and more refined, compared to North-east Germany, wine is more popular, since it's warm enough to grow there.

Saxony (and related regions) was probably seen as one of the more progressive regions, the Reformation and the Weimar culture were born there, and later porcelain manufacture made the region rich and fertile for progressive ideas. On the other hand, Swabia was fairly conservative and puritanical (Goethe even comments on this).

Another example would be how the start of the Lent period is celebrated (although this may have more modern reasons, not sure). In Southern parts of Germany carnival is called Fastnacht/Fasnet/Fasching and people wear wodden masks (pic related) and parade around the villages, presumably to flush out evil spirits, while further north, it's more political and satirical.
