All you are going to get if anything are opinions. If thats what you want then I'll give you mine. Apparently it's not an item of German origin although it may be most commonly thought of as that. I have never looked up the info posted about it so that was interesting to me. There are probably more that use it not knowing it's origin or association, than there are that do, so it's just "cool" looking for them and thats their reason for using it.
