One custom practised in Schüttorf and the old County (now district) is the "Weggenbringen". When a child is born to a family, the neighbours and friends bring a "Weggen", a loaf of raisin bread that is often up to two metres long, and which is borne on a ladder. Traditionally, the "Weggen" was baked by the neighbours themselves and given as a Christening gift along with ham and cheese. After the Christening, it is then consumed. The clothing for this is the "Holtbeus", a blue work jacket with black trousers, grey socks, wooden shoes, a top hat and a red neckerchief tied with a matchbox. Today, the "Weggen" is hardly ever brought anymore on the Friday before the Christening. Even when there is a "Weggenbringen", it is not usually a "Weggen" with ham and cheese that is brought, but rather things like Bobbycars, child car seats and other useful articles.
