    The shoe industry is remembered in many places in Pirmasens. The monument to the shoe wearers stands in front of the Old Post Office.

    Hiking

    The two bronze figures of the shoe-carrying women, also called "Schuhmädchen" (shoe girls), were created in 2015 by Martin Schöneich and recall the important role that women played in the development of the shoe industry in Pirmasens and thus also for the city.
    The two bronze figures are two to three meters high. While one woman balances a large basket on her head, the other carries a high basket (a "Weidekiepe", a willow basket) on her back. Many shoes stick out of the basket and in her left hand the woman also holds a shoe.
