On Tuesday evening, 19 December 2017, the Royal Ottoman Society celebrated a milestone: the grand opening of our new gathering space at Harmonie Der Herzen e.V., Dammstraße 18 in Ludwigshafen. The ceremony began at 7 pm with a warm “Selamun Aleyküm” from Sheikh Bahauddin Efendi, whose presence honoured the occasion.
The evening gave members and friends the opportunity to meet, share stories and look ahead to how this welcoming venue will host regular sohbet sessions, spiritual teachings and cultural events celebrating our Ottoman heritage.
We invite anyone moved by this moment to become part of our growing family. Membership offers access to ongoing programmes, our online community and future gatherings in our new home. Learn more and join us: Membership.
