A 4.3 km long circular route through Preetz... Following the traces of its historical past as a shoemaking town

Small but nice

The largest wooden shoe in Preetz is a tourist attraction and is located at the Yarn Basket (or on the market square, depending on the source). It was made in 2008 by clog maker Lorenz Hamann. The dimensions of the wooden slipper are: * Length: 3.06 meters * Width: 1.03 meters

The Schustergang (Shoemaker's Walk) in Preetz is a central part of the town's identity, also known as the "Shoemaker's Town." It is a circular route that passes many historical sites and testimonies of the former shoemaking trade, which experienced its heyday in Preetz in the 19th century. The Schustergang leads from the Noble Preetz Monastery, an important cultural monument from the 13th century, through the town. Along the way, you pass various stations related to shoemaking.

On the way to the train station, we are reminded once again that Preetz is widely known as the "shoemaker's town." A name that dates back to the heyday of the shoemaking trade in the 19th century, when numerous shoemakers lived and worked in the town. Even though the shoe industry is no longer as dominant today, this tradition is kept alive through monuments.
