Die Zigarrenmacher

As you stand before this impressive sculpture group, you see five bronze half-figures representing the cigar makers. Created by Holger Voigts in 1984, this monument commemorates a trade that was significant in the 19th-century Neustadt. You will find it at the corner of Buntentorsteinweg and Kirchweg. Imagine how people lived and worked in this area back then, as you take in the details of the figures. You might notice that the Schnürschuh Theater is just 242 meters to the northwest. Take this moment to delve into the history of the area and appreciate the importance of the cigar makers to the local economy.
