Guided Story
Take a look at this shoemaker spirit, depicted here holding boots. This statue commemorates Eduard Mörike's fairy tale, first published in 1853. The tale features the Hutzelmännlein, linked to the Swabian Hutzelbrot, a fruit bread made from dried fruit pieces, supposedly invented by the story's character. Nearby, just 33 meters southeast, you might notice the Stiftskirche. This spot offers a glimpse into Swabian cultural and literary history.
