Talk:Schultüte

german umlauts in the title?
Is this really named Schultüte (with ü) in english? I thing no, but there is no article about "School Cone" or "Schultute" (or a redirect) in the english wiki. But I must admit, I am not familar with german articles in the english wikipedia. I am only sure that noone from outside germany search for articles with äüö --Lastwebpage (talk) 17:20, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Well I guess no one outside Germany would search "Schultüte, Schultute or school cone" at all if he/she is not familiar with this tradition which is not that wide spread outside Germany. So if one knows about it, lets say because he/she has been living for some time here, he/she will sure use the umlaut when searching for "Schultüte"! Maybe there should be a redirection from "Schultute" but I doubt someone will call it "school cone". --Ragoro (talk) 06:30, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Since its named school cone in the article it should consequently have that as redirect, i think --Itu (talk) 00:21, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Relationship to Dunce Cap and Golden Hat, and possibly sourcers hat
Is there any research or other evidence that might suggest that Schultüte is related to the Dunce cap hat and perhaps the Golden Hat? Celcom (talk) 08:49, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Celcom

Photo from 2005
In the german article the year was removed from the picture caption "Boy with Schultüte, 2005" because no one belives that this is an picture from 2005 (the clothes do look more like something like 1985-1990). I think this should be done here too since there is no source for the information (and no need). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.90.125.0 (talk) 15:36, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Tampere Schools
My daughter goes to Tammelan Koulu in Tampere, Finland. She (and all her class) got a Schültute yesterday. The school made it for the German stream https://tammelankoulu.yhdistysavain.fi/vieraskielinen-opetus2/saksankieliset-luokat/ and the way it was done was older children made and decorated the tüte with images and good luck messages and the child's name. Then the family of the child filled it and it was given and opened later. I think sweets were quite common, but school supplies like paints, pencils, protractors were in there too. Now this looks like original research, but I would guess that other German schools outside of German speaking nations will do this too.
