growing up in former eastern germany we had sankt martin's day (11. nov) as "laternchen" (small latern). it involves kids going door to door and singing songs in exchange for candy.
when halloween started appearing it was too close in date and too similar but seen as "worse" since the "trick or treat" thing seems more bratty lol
