Speckendicken Backen - Eine Ostfriesische Tradition

Until 1939, the pastor of the Evangelical Reformed Church of Mitling-Mark enjoyed life in the old rectory. From 1940 onward, the small parish was served by Papenburg, and the pastor's residence thus stood empty. The name remained, only the purpose changed: the former rectory first became a recreation center for young people, then a conference center. Since then, and until recently, there was a lively activity and loud children's laughter in these historic walls – until it was put up for sale. A local boy didn't want to let this very thing die out, so he teamed up with a good friend and made a decision – SOLD. This local boy is Wilke Zierden, and exactly according to his vision, a multi-generational house was to be built in the listed building. Here, too, the name remained, only the purpose changed. The plan: a sweet, rustic café for everyone, homemade cakes, overnight accommodations, and a daycare center under one roof. The whole thing is in a decorative style: a little crazy, a little unusual, lots of fun & love, and even more East Frisian flair. Visit the rectory: https://www.das-pfarrhaus.com
