And not a shitskin in sight.

The journey of those who have already passed their journeyman’s examination and now wish to become master carpenters lasts at least three years and one day. During this time, these unmarried and debt-free men are not allowed to set foot in their hometown; they must even keep many kilometers away from it—they are not even allowed to go home for Christmas. Modern devices such as cell phones are prohibited. The journeyman also does not own a car but covers all distances on foot. The journeymen of the carpentry trade are a historical relic from the Middle Ages, yet they are also a reality of the year 2026. Traditional attire includes a curved walking stick and an earring in the left ear.
One amusing thing from the comments, which I didn't know as a native:
Regarding the earring.
If one of them committed a crime the earring was pulled out crating a cut/a slit in the earlobe.
That’s why we have the expression Schlitzohr = slit ear for someone crooked.
