Laternelaufen

Children (or participants of any age) craft lanterns (martinslaternen) on a stick, usually made of cardboard and crepe paper and sometimes with motives on them, and meet together to walk around the streets while singing songs. It's a tradition to honor st. Martin on the eleventh of November. Saint Marting cut off piece of his robe to give it to an unhoused person.
