DRK Festsaal

Otterndorf lies in the old land of Hadeln, near the mouth of the Elbe in Lower Saxony, and like many small north German towns it holds its public occasions in a hall belonging to a society rather than to the state. The German Red Cross assembly room serves that purpose: civic gatherings, local celebrations and, from time to time, a visiting ensemble playing Bach to an audience of a few hundred neighbours.
