I remember reading about that hat, specific to parts of the German states, a couple of years ago, and I can't remember the name of it either, nor do I have the name of the reference to hand. I was doing some rushed searching on German styles and saw the info. The reference said that the hat had a woven base to it made of reeds or straws. If you look at the first picture, you can see through the holes of the white fabric that there is actually something woven underneath it.
I wish I could offer something more solid for reference than this memory. All I can remember is that I thought, "of course, how else would they get that flowing shape if it wasn't woven?"
