The venue was completely reconstructed for the winter season by the owner. Instead of the half covered garden a spacious indoor hall with elegant wall paintings and a dance floor was built. It is excellent for small balls and social dance circles. The upstairs rooms were also renovated and newly painted. The ball was well attended. The Colonia Männerchor and Gesangverein Phönir were engaged for the occasion and performed well.
