The day finally came to an end on Saturday.
Otto Jürgens Bids Farewell to Harburg Weekly Market After 50 Years
After a half-century of service at the Harburg weekly market, Otto Jürgens, a vegetable merchant, is retiring on Saturday. The Elstorfer stand, which he has run for decades, will continue to operate under new management with Francisca Dizon after his departure.
Otto Jürgens took over the stand from his mother Anni Jürgens in 1974 at the age of 20. Over the years, he has become a pillar of the market, providing fresh vegetables, fruit, and eggs to customers.
Dörte Ulrich and Andrea Rase will continue to work at the market stand after Otto Jürgens' retirement. Their presence ensures continuity, and they will join Francisca Dizon, who has been chosen as the successor to take over Otto Jürgens' stand.
Francisca Dizon is set to take on a significant role at the Harburg weekly market with the management of Otto Jürgens' market stand. The team at the stand, including Dörte Ulrich, Andrea Rase, and Francisca Dizon, will aim to maintain the quality and service that customers have come to expect.
Otto Jürgens, now 70 years old, is looking forward to the next chapter of his life. He plans to spend his retirement on his farm.
Despite Otto Jürgens' retirement, the Elstorfer stand will remain a familiar sight at the Harburg weekly market. Customers can continue to expect fresh produce and friendly service from the team led by Francisca Dizon. This retirement marks the end of an era for Otto Jürgens at the market, but it also signals a new beginning for the Elstorfer stand under its new management.
Other contributors at the Elstorfer stand, such as Dörte Ulrich and Andrea Rase, will continue to offer home-and-garden items alongside the fresh produce during their shopping experiences at the market. In addition to this, the new management, headed by Francisca Dizon, will expand the product range to include lifestyle items, enabling shoppers to find a wider variety of goods at the Harburg weekly market.
