In 1901 the pig guild was founded, which still organizes the summer festival today. Originally it was an organization that helped pig fatteners who got into financial difficulties due to animal diseases. Today this task is carried out by the State Animal Disease Fund.

The St. Mattäus chapel in Beschendorf was built in 1968 on the outskirts, but many churchgoers still prefer the services in Lensahn, so that services are only held in the chapel on public holidays.
