Pirmasens Guide
Guide
Pirmasens is situated in the Rhineland-Palatinate region in eastern Germany, close to the French border. With a population of approximately 50,000 people, Pirmasens is a very imaginatively rebuilt city and it was, at one point in time, the centre of the German shoe industry. It also acts as the urban hub of south-western region of Palatinate.
Explore Pirmasens
The city was established by Count Ludwig IX who selected this region for his residential purposes and a military garrison. Ludwig was a very strict ruler in his time, and used to march his troops frequently on the parade ground. He was seen as one of the most enlightened rulers and is remembered fondly by the public.
Visit the incredible Shoe Museum in the Old Town Hall in the center of Pirmasens. The shoe industry indirectly owes its allegiance to Ludwig. When he died, his army was disbanded, and the soldiers turned to making shoes using the leather parts of their uniform. In a desperate attempt to make money, these shoes were then sold by their wives to the public. This was the beginning of world famous brand names such as Schlabbe. Remnants of Pirmasens' magnificent shoe industry can be seen even today.
