We need 'schultüte' in Denmark!
A small German girl with a 'schultüte'

When I was a child I saw 'schultüte' in Germany -
and I simply could not understand why Danish children
did not get one on their first school day. A 'schultüte' - or
a 'zuckertüte' is a big paper (and later plastic) cone filled with
toys, chocolate, candies, school supplies, and various other
goodies. It is given to children to make this anxiously
awaited first day of school a little bit sweeter

The traditions of the schultüte leads back to approximately 1810,
to Saxony and Thuringia in Germany. The first documented report
of the cone-shaped schultüte comes from the city of Jena in 1817,
closely followed by reports from Dresden (1820) and Leipzig (1836).
It started in the bigger cities but spread quickly to the small towns
and villages, soon becoming an institution all over Germany

The legend is told that the Zuckertütenbaum -
the sugar cone tree - grows in the school cellar
just for all the six year olds. But the parents
bring them to school, while no one is watching
