Hi Martina! I looked for Spitzbeutel, but couldn't find any. Hence, the assumption it was a typo. I've found images, which are not SO different from Spritzbeutel, BUT here's a few other suggestions for you:

long, narrow funnel (shape)
elongated, pointed funnel
narrow cone with pointy tip
narrowly taping to a sharp tip....

Notes to answerer
Asker: It's definitely NOT Spritzbeutel. The customer explained to me that langgezogene Spitzbeutel-Form means " langgezogene, unten annähernd spitze Form"

neutral  philgoddard: I'm not sure it is a typo. A Spitzbeutel is a conical bag.

  -> Conical is good, Phil, why not suggest it?

elongated pear-shape; banana pepper-shape


Explanation:
Tomato shapes:
vgl. the "German Howard" heirloom variety here:

or 'Banana pepper-shape"
https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Diversity-in-tomato-frui...

The regular leaf plants of 'Howard German' produce red, three to nine ounce, paste-type tomatoes. There is a lot of variability in fruit shapes which range from an elongated pear to ones that look like frying peppers. The flesh is dry, meaty and tasty. Excellent for sauce and paste.

Fruit shape can be somewhat variable. Most fruit are shaped like a plump banana pepper, although some may look more like an elongated pear. Plants are attractive with a wispy, fern like appearance while still giving good fruit protection.
