Schübligziischtig

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Schübligziischtig ( alemannisch for bacon sausage Tuesday ) is a local custom in the Canton of Zurich in Switzerland on Shrove Tuesday , which even after more than 400 years existence and exercised during the Reformation. Its name is derived from Schüblig , a regional sausage specialty that was consumed in large quantities on the last day of Carnival , the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday , so that one could really eat meat again before the coming Lent.

In the Zurich Oberland it was an age-old custom that boys, young and old, would steal sausages from the pans in order to enjoy them on the street. Sometimes fake pots were left in the saucepan out of joke when stolen. The casing of these sausages was filled with sawdust instead of meat.

In the afternoon, traditionally from school until the late 1980s, the school children went masked and dressed in the streets, in the shops for alms begging, which were often only recite to a poem or sing a song, and then in the knapsack wore home . This mask wearing is documented as early as 1657. With the abolition of the free afternoon for (lower school) children in the 1980s and 1990s, the custom has increasingly disappeared.
