Summer Festival in Hamburg's Northernmost Forest Village District

Lemsahl-Mellingstedt is the northernmost district of Hamburg — already rural, with horse pastures, thatched-roof farmhouses, and a distinct village character. The Dorffest, held every summer on Lemsahler Dorfplatz, cultivates precisely this identity. The organizer is the Heimatbund Lemsahl-Mellingstedt e.V., which preserves the cultural traditions of the community.

Children's Festival at the Centre

The festival begins in the afternoon at 2 PM and is explicitly focused as a children's festival: numerous free attractions for the little ones — game stalls, craft activities, classic amusements — transform Lemsahler Dorfplatz into a playground for an afternoon. Live music accompanies the program.

Catering and Community

For refreshments, there's classic Volksfest fare: sausages, fries, popcorn, and a wide selection of drinks. The Heimatbund organizes the festival with numerous volunteers from the community.

Wandsbek District and the Walddörfer

Lemsahl-Mellingstedt belongs to the Walddörfer in the Wandsbek district. With only about 6,000 inhabitants, it is one of Hamburg's smaller districts, nestled in the rural landscape between Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. The Dorffest serves as an important opportunity for community identification here.
