Never knew we had a word for snow shovel in Dutch. I don't think I'd ever even seen one until I came to the US.

When we first moved here my husband had to actually demonstrate Correct Snow Shoveling Technique (as taught by the New England School of Snow Shoveling) so I wouldn't give myself a back injury shoveling our sidewalk.

I don't remember ever seeing one in Germany either. All those poor old women and their stumpy little brooms!
