Steirerblut is not raspberry juice
Steirerblut is no raspberry juice (in dialect: Steirerbluat is koa raspberry juice ) is a winged word from Styria . It alludes to the particular obstinacy, independence and intransigence that the Styrian population is sometimes said to be.
The origin of the phrase is unknown; The saying was widely spread on the one hand by Reinhard P. Gruber's novel From the life of Hödlmoser from 1973, in which it is quoted - with irony. “The phrase 'Styrian blood is not raspberry juice' was learned by heart with pride and enjoyment and said - always as a warning”.
On the other hand, the image of the almost militantly independent Styrian from the history of Styria is influenced as a borderland often threatened by enemies, including the heraldic animal, the fire-breathing Styrian panther . Long-time governor Josef Krainer senior used this word to emphatically represent his political demands against the Austrian federal government:
"'Steirerblut is not raspberry juice' became a threat to battle like the Tyrolean ' Mander, s isch Zeit '"
The music group AlpenRebellen wrote a song, which is also entitled Steirerbluat is koa raspberry juice .
