There was no European countries when the Easter Bunny began. The celebration of Easter comes from the pagan rites of spring. Easter eggs and bunnies represent rebirth and fertility after the death of winter. When the Catholic Church began to convert the pagan tribes they used the Easter rites and symbols for their purposes. It was easier than trying to change everything to just use what was all ready existed.

How did the legend of the Easter bunny start?
The Easter Bunny as an Easter symbol seems to have its origins in Alsace and southwestern Germany, where it was first mentioned in German writings in the 1600s. Its origin can be traced to the German fertility goddess Ä’ostre The Easter Bunny was introduced to America by the German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country during the 1700s. The arrival of the "Ä’oster Hawse" (a phonetic transcription of a dialectal pronunciation of the German Osterhase) was considered one of "childhood's greatest pleasures," similar to the arrival of Kriist Kindle (from the German Christkindl) on Christmas Eve. According to the tradition, children would build brightly colored nests, often out of caps and bonnets, in secluded areas of their homes. The "Ä’oster Hawse" would, if the children had been good, lay brightly colored eggs in the nest. As the tradition spread, the nest has become the manufactured, modern Easter basket, and the placing of the nest in a secluded area has become the tradition of hiding baskets.
