A Permanent Hiatus on the North Sea Shore
A sign hangs on the entrance - "Closed Indefinitely." Reservations are cancelled, and the phone remains unanswered. Moehring, who himself manned the kitchen, opened the establishment with a large team. By the end, only two employees and one apprentice remained.
Architect Holle Paulsen, the owner of the historic building, is disheartened. "The Lohdeel will resume - of course, in a new format," she promises. After renovating the premises in 2024, she intends to breathe new life into the restaurant by the sea, although the exact timeline remains hazy.

The abrupt closure has left many regular customers dumbfounded.According to shz, the restaurant appeared well-patronized, even during the winter months. The mystery lies in the disparity between the thriving customer base and the financial losses that led to Lohdeel's downfall. Despite the riddles lingering, the North Sea community and Paulsen hold out hope for a timely rebirth of Lohdeel.
