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

    The two bronze figures of the shoe wearers, also called shoe girls, were created in 2015 by Martin Schöneich and are a reminder of the important role that women have played in the development of the shoe industry in Pirmasens and thus also in 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 tall basket (a willow basket) on her back. Many shoes are sticking out of the basket and the woman is also holding a shoe in her left hand.
