On the fourth Sunday of Eastertide, Pope Leo XIV, referring to the Gospel of the day (John 10:1-10) of the Good Shepherd, to whom this church and parish community is entrusted in patronage, said: “As we continue our journey through the Easter season, the Gospel today hands us the words of Jesus, who compares himself to a shepherd and then to the door of the sheepfold. (…) The shepherd has a special bond with his sheep and can therefore enter through the door; if, on the other hand, someone has to climb over the fence, then he is certainly a thief who wants to steal the sheep. Jesus tells us that he is connected to us through a friendship: he knows us, calls us by name, and guides us; he seeks us, like a shepherd his sheep, when we get lost, and he heals our wounds when we are injured.”

Due to the white gravel beach, locals jokingly call it the "Rimini of East Frisia". The best water quality is also why the Tannenhausen bathing lake is so popular with holidaymakers and locals alike. Directly on the lake, there is a holiday home area with high-quality houses in the typical East Frisian style. You can book the accommodations through us. At the Tannenhausen bathing lake, there is an area specially designed for dogs (fenced and accessible via its own door), where owners can now relax together with their four-legged friends. The nationwide TV magazine TV Hören und Sehen rated Germany's most beautiful bathing lakes in one of its 2009 issues. The Tannenhausen bathing lake is also among the 50 best bathing lakes. This also confirmed that the Aurich district of Tannenhausen has the best bathing lake in East Frisia. Source: https://www.aurich-tourismus.de/freizeit-und-shopping/erholungsgebiet-tannenhausen
