Children at the Adolf Reichwein school in Essen were given the traditional cardboard cone filled with sweets - and as an added bonus - pens that projected erotic images.
Members of the German Communist Party handed the cones to the children on their way to their first day at school.
A number of angry parents who discovered that the pens could project erotic images of women complained to school authorities.
The German Communist Party stated that the pens were purchased from a discount store, which had told them that the pens simply lit up at the push of a button.
'The German Communist Party deeply regrets what has happened and is outraged that this kind of thing, which borders on pornography, can be purchased in normal shops,'
The party has since offered to exchange the pens for more suitable gifts, and is now investigating whether the vendors can be prosecuted.
