Otto Juergens Bid Farewell to Harburg Weekly Market After 50 Years
After half a century of serving customers at the Harburg weekly market, Otto Juergens is retiring. The vegetable merchant, who took over the stand from his mother Anni Juergens in 1974 at the age of 20, has become one of the pillars of the market.
On Saturday, Juergens will be coming to the market for the last time. He expressed his gratitude to his customers and employees, saying that he won't be bored on his farm.
Despite Juergens' retirement, the proven team at his stand will continue to serve customers. Francisca Dizon, an employee of Juergens, will take over the stand, ensuring a smooth transition for the market-goers. Dörte Ulrich and Andrea Räse, current members of the team, will also continue their roles.
Dizon, who is set to be the new owner, expressed her excitement about the opportunity. The team at Juergens' stand has been a vital part of the Harburg weekly market for 50 years, and this will continue with the new ownership.
The Elstorfer, a regular customer, has been coming to the market for 50 years. He shared his appreciation for Juergens, saying, "Otto has always provided fresh vegetables, fruit, and eggs, and I'm glad to see that the team will continue to do so."
Juergens' retirement marks the end of an era at the Harburg weekly market. However, the continuity of the team ensures that the market will continue to thrive. Juergens himself is looking forward to the next chapter of his life.
Despite the change in ownership, the team at Juergens' stand will remain intact. Search results show that there are no relevant details available about Francisca Dizon or her role in the market after Juergens' retirement.
