Currently closed Mondays and Saturdays, unfortunately due to staffing shortages, isn't that the norm these days? What's up to Gen Z???

Esswerk 5 now has a new look, the windows have been put in, now winter can come and you can still enjoy yourself there. But on the weekend of 23 and 24 November 2024 it is a private event!
