Once a year in October, Trochtelfingen hosts the
'Stöckles-Cup', a Nordic Walking competition. 'Stöckles' refers to the sticks used in Nordic Walking.
During the latest edition in 2009, Schosers gained prominence not only through their individual participation, they also organised the largest participating team: the team 'Schoser-Miteinander-Füreinander' ('Schoser-with and for each other')
gathering 104 out of the total of 530 participants. According to the rules of 'Stöckles-Cup', this made team Schoser win this competition and, moreover, constituted a new record team size.
On an individual level, Valentina Schoser covered the middle distance of 12 km while Ellen, Bernhard and Vincent walked the maximum distance of 16 km. Next chance to take part is on 17 October 2010.
After eight months in exile, Modehaus Schoser has moved back to its home seat in the center of Trochtelfingen. The move had become necessary due to heavy roadworks in Trochtelfingen cutting off access to the shop. During these months, the alternative location in an abandoned industrial site proved to be so popular that shop owner Bernhard took the decision to renovate the home seat in a similar fashion.
As a result, not only was Trochtelfingen's main street completely refurbished but also the 'fashion house' got a comprehensive facelift. The team including Ellen and Valentina Schoser gave a helping hand in the renovation and is now eager to get back to serve customers in the old/new location as of 4 November.
