Pforzheim Welcomes 'Trick or Treat' Tradition on Halloween Night
Halloween night in Pforzheim saw many children and teens, accompanied by their parents, taking to the streets to participate in the popular 'Trick or treat' tradition. This custom, known as 'Süßes oder Saures', has gained significant popularity in Germany, despite not being native to the country.
The tradition, which originated among Irish immigrants in the US in the 19th century, involves children dressing up in costumes and going door to door, asking for sweets using the phrase 'Trick or treat'. While it has been widely celebrated in the US for decades, it only started gaining traction in Germany in the 1990s, largely due to commercial promotion and influence from popular culture.
In Pforzheim, many houses were decorated with pumpkins, skeletons, or spiders, indicating their willingness to participate in the event. The Arlinger pharmacy was among the establishments prepared to give out sweets to the trick-or-treaters. However, residents may respond negatively if they do not approve of the custom, and in some neighborhoods, neighbors have agreed on specific houses where trick-or-treating is allowed to avoid any potential pranks on those who do not comply.
Despite its foreign origins, the 'Trick or treat' tradition has become a significant part of Halloween celebrations in Pforzheim and Germany as a whole. With proper communication and respect for individual preferences, this event can be a fun and safe experience for all involved.
