Kiepenkerle was the name given to itinerant traders in the Low German-speaking area between Sauerland and Hamburg who belonged to the traveling people. They brought foods such as eggs, dairy products and poultry to the cities and in return supplied salt, other goods and news to the rural areas. The name derives from the Kiepe, a back carrier (basket carrier) made of wood and wicker.

The statue created by Paul Reding is based on the real person of “Flörings Schacht”. Josef Flöring, born in 1847, embodies a tradition that is particularly well-known in the Münsterland region and has remained popular to this day.
