Schuhladen Mbaetz in Erfurt closes: a farewell with history!

in the city center of Erfurt is a small but fine change in progress. The owner of the Schuhladen "Mbaetz", Mechthild Bätz, decided to close her shop after 18 years. This reports thueringen24 . The reason for this decision is the beginning of a new phase of life, because Bätz wants to start studying. A new challenge is always exciting, but the closure of your lovingly guided business will be emotional for many customers.

The closure will take place this year, with a farewell party for the regular customers planned on December 13th. Bätz is looking for a successor who can take on your business turnkey. "Mbaetz" has made a name for itself with high -quality, handmade shoes from small manufacturers - a real attraction for fashion -conscious. The individuality and personality, which are conveyed through extraordinary shoes, were always the focus of the range.

unique shoe brands and high quality

"Mbaetz" offers exclusive shoes that combine both design and functionality. The selection includes, among other things, the French brand Arche, known for your support and reserved design, as well as the brands Cydwoq with its unusual creations and trips that produce real classics. These high -quality shoes are produced fairly and come from international craft manufacturers, a philosophy that also becomes clear on the website mbaetz.com

The importance of such business becomes particularly clear against the background of the increasingly harder competition in the German shoe trade. According to Statista , the shoe trade has recovered from the Corona-related losses, but the industry faces challenges. The number of inpatient dealers decreases continuously, and last year only around 2,700 companies were active. The turnover for 2024 is estimated at over 6.5 billion euros, but this remains behind the level of before pandemic.

a farewell with optimism

The closure of "Mbaetz" is not only the end of an era, but also a sign for the changing retail. While the big chains and online retailers, such as Deichmann and Zalando, are gaining more and more market shares, personal contact and expertise in small shops such as Bätz ’center remains. Customers will miss the unique selection and the stories behind the shoe brands. But Bätz is optimistic and wishes to inspire the next generation of shoe providers. This is a good reason for a solemn farewell - one last time the special shoes and your stories enjoy.
