The people in my hometown really don't look healthy

Have a look at this page (local newspaper).
OK, it's most likely a colour space issue but still.

Grießhammer (towards the bottom of middle column) is a great name! That sounds like quite a specialized item of culinary / milling equipment.

*laughs* It's a very typical last name for the region.
I went to [pre-college school that doesn't really have an equivalent over here] with two poor guys, one called Kalbskopf (calf's head) and the other one Schniedel (which - and "Schniedelwutz" - is also a colloquial term for penis, so his nickname was "Wutz").
There are many profession based names, incl. negative ones like Pascher (old term for smuggler which makes perfect sense for our region).

heh! -- that Schniedel guy really should change it.
