Must I watch "Season 1" before watching ~Traumend~?

While not necessary if one understands the events that happened in Season 1, it is nonetheless highly recommended that one watches Season 1 before moving on to ~Traumend~.

The reasons being:

It is hard to understand ~Traumend~ if you have not watched Season 1
Both seasons of Rozen Maiden are essentially continuations in plot from each other, thus missing out on Season 1 will mean missing out huge sections of plot.
Rozen Maiden is a series that primarily focuses on character development, and skipping Season 1 will deprive one from being familiar with the characters; not to mention the interesting character development of Jun and Shinku.
Its the opinion of some posters that ~Traumend~ was duller than Season 1, which was also more enjoyable and funny. Many found Season 1 more compelling then ~Traumend~ was.
Season 1 has Suigintou as the main villain AND it has the stairwars episode ()
It is guaranteed that ~Traumend~ will have a much bigger impact if one watches Season 1 first.
