Many years ago, the trained confectioner Andresen ran a café on this site. On 1 July 1970, the Boddenberg family took over the café and is now the 3rd generation to run it. In the meantime, the small café has become much more... In 2021, the family decided on a comprehensive remodelling, but they don't want to forget that everything had its "origins" here.
