For a shoe store in a medieval citycentre on one of the oldest buildings I think it is most fitting to have historic shoemaker and poet Hans Sachs personally kneel there and measure the girl's foot.
And the whole renovation of this house is one of very few of simple original profane late gothic front's with bauhaus moderne below at the shopping level I saw in my life I ever really loved. Guess it is the tryptich form and in the middle the prominent perspectivic and symetric brick-tile floor and wicker wall of the painted shop that brings it all together so well with that difficult rounded glas shop windows flanking the door and blends it into renaissance and baroque spendor and colourful neo-medievality. Without all the stiff graphic lines from the painting, it would be just an other style mix sticking out like a sore thumb. It is a shame I could not take a propper wide angle that day.
Werdich is today a major chain, but this is the original first store. A good pic of the whole thing is on their wikipedia page.
