Beginning about 1830, journeyman coopers brought the dance to other places such as Eggenfelden, Frontenhausen, Geiselhöring, Mainburg, Mühldorf, Murnau, Kelheim, Landshut, Partenkirchen and Wasserburg.

The body gatherers would call out as they went through town "Hejo - doude Moo - moje kommd en annern droo" (roughly, "Hello, dead man, tomorrow it’ll be another’s turn"; this is dialectal, not standard High German).

Nowadays children enjoy the sweets that are thrown out into the street from all the houses as a straw doll is borne ahead of them out of the town and then burnt.
