    On Bahnhofstrasse in Vechta, a few meters from the Provost Church, stand the stone statues of Jan and Libett.

    The two figures were invented by H. Averdam as "Jan van Dählen un Stuken Libet." In 1919, a drawing of the two appeared in the Stoppelmarkt newspaper as "Jan un Libet up Stoppelmarkt." Since then, the two cult figures have been a fixture at every Stoppelmarkt. They can be recognized by their wooden shoes and traditional robes with colorful headscarves and hats.
