Sociable village barbecue at the fire station — Linau summer evening with neighbours and fire brigade comrades
In many North German villages, the volunteer fire brigade is more than just a response team for fires and emergencies — it is the most important meeting point and the driving force behind community life. The annual barbecue is one of the occasions where the brigade thanks the village for its support, attracts new members, and spends a relaxed summer evening with all the residents of Linau.
Linau is a small municipality with around 750 inhabitants in the District of Herzogtum Lauenburg (Schleswig-Holstein), east of Hamburg between Trittau and Schwarzenbek. The municipality is predominantly rural and agricultural; many Linau residents commute to Hamburg. The fire brigade, the shooting club, a vintage car club, and smaller sports and cultural associations form the village's community life.
On August 29, 2026, from 3:00 PM, the Linau Volunteer Fire Brigade invites the entire village community to the traditional barbecue at the fire station. As in previous years, the festival features grilled specialities (sausages, pork neck steaks, chicken legs), salads, cold beer and soft drinks, and exchanges between brigade members, association members, and villagers.
Free admission. Food and drinks are subject to a charge.
By car: A24 Hamburg–Berlin, exit Talkau, then country road to Linau. By train: Schwarzenbek or Trittau station, then bus.
Free admission. Food and drinks at the barbecue stands are subject to a charge — proceeds go to the Volunteer Fire Brigade.
