English: View of the 591st Hof Schlappentag. Schlappentag began for some already at 5 o'clock by musical wake-up calls at prominent citizens of the city of Hof. At 8 o'clock the festive march started at the Schießhäuschen and ran to the town hall (for this purpose parts of the streets were closed). At the city hall at shortly after 9 o'clock there was the receipt by mayor Eva Döhla together with Schützenkommissar with official announcement of the Schlappen Schützenkönig or -queen. At about 10 o'clock the festive march began at the city hall, over old part of town and beyond the Strauß area over the Marienstraße to the Schießhäuschen. Hof's Schlappentag is considered Hof's "national" holiday and recently became an intangible cultural heritage. Here you can see a chimney sweep senior master (right) with a colleague. The coat of arms on the right in the picture is that of the city of Coburg. The head master wears slippers, which are name-giving for the Schlappen day (Slippers day).
