Journeymen Welcome
Schloss Gültz upholds the centuries-old tradition of the journeyman’s travels. Journeymen on the Walz will find board and lodging with us in return for helping with the restoration of this historic listed monument.
The tradition of the Walz
The journeyman’s travels – also known as the “Walz” – are a traditional journey undertaken by craftsmen after completing their apprenticeship. For at least three years and one day, the journeymen travel the land to work for various master craftsmen.
Since 2015, the journeyman’s travels have been included in the Nationwide Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage of the German Commission for UNESCO. Journeymen can be recognised by their traditional garb: black trousers, white shirt, black hat and the Stenz (walking staff).
“He who has not seen foreign lands cannot understand much of home.”
