High German?Highland or Alpine as opposed to lowland or coastal 'Low German'. Like the difference between Yankee and Southern English. Or, perhaps Oxford and Southern English.

Hoch Deutsch, a.k.a. High / Northern / Proper German, as opposed to Platz Deutsch, a.k.a. Low / Southern / Low class German. Approximately.

High German???????What they mean is these people spoke, "proper, formal," German. A Swiss dialect called, "Schweizerdeutsch," is unintelligible to most German speakers.
