The residents of Jork will have an alternative to the current supermarket offerings: a weekly market with fresh, regional produce from the Altes Land area.

The weekly market takes place every Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Altes Land market square in the center of Jork. There is also a children's playground, restaurants, and cafes. Plenty of benches invite visitors to linger.

Jork Town Hall
Year Built: 17th Century
Elevation: approx. 1 m above sea level

(See map).

The town hall in the historic center of Jork is a three-story, historic timber-framed building constructed in the mid-17th century by Count Matthäus von Haren. The town is also known as the Altes Land region and has a very eventful history.

The town hall boasts a beautiful entrance portal adorned with coats of arms. In front of it is a charming little garden with parkland, benches, lanterns, and an anchor monument. The building underwent extensive restoration in the 1970s and has been beautifully restored. It still retains its original appearance.

It is located in the center of Jork.

This is what defines the Altes Land:

Fruit growing and shipping. The proximity to the Elbe River and the metropolis of Hamburg has shaped the Altes Land for centuries. Whether in spring during cherry blossom season or in summer and autumn during harvest time, visitors can discover a wealth of attractions here. Above all, the enchanting landscape, as well as cultural events and its sights, from the lighthouse to the Arp Schnitger organ.

The Altes Land is a wonderful and unique region. It stretches from the outskirts of Hamburg for over 30 km south of the Elbe to the Hanseatic city of Stade. The area encompasses the entire municipality of Jork, the collective municipality of Lühe, and the Neu Wulmstorf district of Rübke in Lower Saxony, as well as the Hamburg districts of Neuenfelde, C.ranz, and Francop. The Elbe's tributaries—the Schwinge, the Lühe, and the Este—divide the Altes Land into three sections: the first, second, and third mile from west to east.
