In the "Tomb of Sammun-Mak", I love how they insert an umlaut into almost every German tidbit Jurgen is supposed to say, but the voice actor very rarely actually speaks it...
I translated the post card that comes in the case file, and it basically says this:
Spirit transfusions experience for With your DJs the evening ...

Absolutely no garlic clove cigarettes or holy water-based products allowed!
With your DJs for the night...
I had to take some liberties with the German translation... but your Google re-translation is even worse
I'm Australian and every relative that I know of is also Australian. But I was looking up an alternate spelling of my surname, because the Internet doesn't seem to know anything about the way I spell it, and it seems that it originates either from Stuttgart or very close to it. Definitely somewhere in Baden-Württemberg. So I probably had some ancestors there.
I'm living 400km away from Stuttgart but I've never actually been there. But I'm pretty sure that there are fans of S&M even in Stuttgart. They just don't seem to dare to come to this forum after they've played 203 and 302.:D
Besides, as a German I always wondered if there is any specific reason why Telltale chose Stuttgart and not any other german city? Is it just because it sounds funny (I think it's always funny hearing Sam or Max saying 'Stuttgart') or does Stuttgart have some kind of popularity in the U.S. that I don't know about.
Whatever the reason is, the whole Jurgen charakter is just hilarious.:D
Probably reference to Vlad Tepes, who always signed his name as Vlad Dracula (his father) who (if memory serves me right) was from Stuttgart to begin with, and was a notoriously cruel enemy of the Ottoman Empire and the inspiration for the character of Count Dracula aka the original vampire

Dracula means "son of the dragon." His father was Vlad Dracul. The surname, Dracul, was given to him upon admission into the Order of the Dragon.
Both father and son were from Wallachia, Romania, not Stuttgart.
ETA: Also, the character of Dracula was not the original vampire. Vampire folklore was around long before Bram Stoker combined it with the history of Vlad Tepes to create Count Dracula.
I doubt that Stuttgart was chosen randomly. Berlin, Hamburg or even Munich would have been much more likely picks. Someone from the Telltale Team was there... maybe he has not the best memories of the place, or it's a joke aimed at a friend living there.
Stuttgart! Probably not the place to find the vast mountains depicted in 203, but as for his castle... we've got 1.000 early to late middle-age leftover fortifications in our country, my city alone is surrounded by ten, two of them being quite impressive castles. In the immediate vicinity of Stuttgart, you will probably find lots that could serve as Jurgen's accomodations.

You know, TTG did recently hire two German interns . . .
If you replace HP Baxxter with Otto von Schirach and Scooter with Modeselektor, Hyper Hyper gets slightly bearable - but it was sucking galaxies through nanotubes already when it came out... >_< (believe me, I was there and stood witness, no thanks to some fellow classmates...)

I love the version by modeselektor. I never understood why the original was this popular myself. I never liked it. But I liked a lot of the singles that followed.

And I was shocked, that they spelled Stuttgart in the subtitles "Stuttgard" with a d! :eek:
I'm kidding. It isn't bothering me.... OR IS IT?!?
DAMN YOU, JÜRGEN!

Jurgen, not Jürgen!

I wonder if that would count to the old moleman.

And as we all know, the best Hollywood movies feature the Schwäbische Dialekt.

Please note the correct pronounciation of "Jürgen" at 0:25 minutes.
Ah, that reminds me that I still have to watch the commentaries of season 2. Thanks for the hint.

But I still like "Death Star Stuttgart" better...
