Hauenstein shoemaker monument - a tribute to the tradition of shoemaking Hauenstein, known as the ‘shoe village’ of the Palatinate, honours its long tradition of shoemaking with the shoemaker monument. The monument, which stands in the heart of Hauenstein, is a reminder of the craftsmanship that has characterised the town for decades and made it what was once the largest shoe metropolis in Germany. The artistic monument shows two shoemaker at work and symbolises the close connection between Hauenstein and the shoe industry. This tradition lives on to this day - including in the German Shoe Museum, which provides fascinating insights into the development of shoe production. Visitors can discover the monument on a walk through the town or include it as a stopover on a hike.
