Another symbolic figure for the shoemaker town of Montabaur is the bronze figure of the shoemaker's boy, which has also been on display on Konrad-Adenauer-Platz since 1985. Connected to a clock, the shoemaker's boy flips the bird to viewers and employees of the town hall of the municipal administration opposite every half hour. "Evil tongues claim that the shoemaker's boy flips the bird to the council and the administration of the town," wrote the Westerwälder Zeitung on June 3, 1985 in its report on the installation of the figure. Dr. Paul Hütte, 1st deputy of the town, admitted: "Crazy decisions are made every now and then, but not every half hour."
