The book "Sterzfresser und Gnackwetzer" is a comprehensive lexicon of local nicknames in the Weinviertel region. Authors Michael Staribacher and Christian Wiesinger have researched and documented the nicknames of over 250 places in this area over several years. This collection is particularly valuable as many of the nicknames have been passed down orally, and written records are limited. Readers will not only learn the names but also the backgrounds and meanings of these unique designations. The book thus provides a deep insight into the local culture and history of the Weinviertel and is an indispensable reference work for those interested in regional dialects and traditions.
