An interesting museum in the city of shoemaking. There are shoes worn by celebrities to view and you can learn a lot about the history of shoes.

The town is also known as a center of the shoe industry.

The history of shoemaking in Weißenfels, which can be traced in the exhibition, began as early as the 12th century. The small settlement had a bridge over the Saale River, where the Eastern Salt Road ran from Halle via Zeitz and Altenburg to Bohemia. Weißenfels developed into a market and trading town, with shoemakers dominating the craft industry. A few centuries later, the shoemaking trade experienced its first flourishing, as the Saxon courts ordered luxury shoes in large quantities. By the 19th century, there were already 190 master shoemakers in Weißenfels.
