"A Schultüte, also known as a Zuckertüte in some parts of Germany (school cone or sugar cone), is a large cone-shaped container made of paper, cardboard, or plastic.
When children in Germany, in parts of the Czech Republic close to the German border, in parts of Poland (Greater Poland, Upper Silesia, Warmia), in Austria, and in the German-speaking parts of Switzerland or Belgium set off for their first day of school upon entering first grade, their parents and/or grandparents present them with a large cardboard cone, attractively decorated and filled with toys, chocolate, candies/sweets, school supplies, and various other special treats. The cone is given to children to make this anxiously awaited first day of school a little sweeter." - (en.wikipedia.org 26.01.2020)
