The figure of the Kiepenkerl (opposite Cafe Schulze) represents the honey cake baking tradition in Borgholzhausen. But it is also well known due to traditional events such as the potato market and the Christmas market. A real attraction for all visitors and residents (I'll skip the gender thing). A nice place for hikers and cyclists, not just because of the "Schulze" shop café. In the rear line of sight there is a nice mural

One of the sights of Borgholzhausen is the Kiepenkerl. A model of a traveling merchant sits at the Uphof, directly opposite the Schulze Ladencafé and the Heimathaus. He wrote numerous stories about Borgholzhausen on his travels. If only he could say it!
