I'm from Schleswig-Holstein near the Danish border. Since last year I'm studying in Marburg, Hessen and I've only noticed some small regional differences with the people I've met here – and they are from all around Germany.
We use some slang words in Schleswig-Holstein though that are not well known in the rest of Germany (like "schnacken" and "moin").
