Germany also has at least four Toronto roofing services contractors schools, one in the Bad Fredeburg area, one in the Mayen area, one in Lehesten (Thuringia) and one in Schlema in the Erzgebirge in the Saxony. These schools, funded by tax dollars, teach the various old traditional slate roofing skills and techniques as well as tile roofing, sheet metal work, artificial slate and even low-slope roofing applications.

Its seems in Germany, like in the United States, roofing is almost strictly a man’s trade (to the relief of most women. no doubt), as no females were seen studying at either of these schools. The schools were teeming with eager, hard-working young men, however, who were being trained in a respected European trade. Master level training was also offered for those roofers who had already gone into the rooting industry and gained sufficient experience on the job. Perhaps what most sets the Germans apart from the rest of the world in the realm of slate roofing is the unique style of slating seen everywhere on Germany’s charming Tudor-style dwellings.
