Here, right on the square in front of the Lippisches Landestheater and at the entrance to the palace park, you can marvel at an original-sized replica of Hermann the Cherusker's foot!

There are no reliable sources that make statements about Hermann's shoe size. Since he was a great warrior and was there "when the Romans got cheeky", one could assume a size 43, maybe 44, shoe.

Michael (see above) does not mean “a full-size replica” of the hero's foot, but the imprint of the monument's foot. He has been standing opposite the State Theater since the Varus year 2009 and has to put up with "foot care" from time to time.

Hermann's entire monument is in the southern Teutoburg Forest, around six kilometers from here.
