In October 1973, ACO Rendsburg celebrated its 25th anniversary with a big party at the Baltic Sea resort "Damp 2000". But why in 1973? – after all, SAB was founded in December 1946, so the celebration should have been at the end of 1971. In fact, it was ACO Andernach whose anniversary was celebrated in 1973! 1 November 1973 was the 25th anniversary of the establishment of ACO in Andernach. Severin Ahlmann had decided to celebrate both anniversaries in the same year, and not separately, even though this meant a two-year delay for ACO Rendsburg.

First, the company founder invited the employees of Rendsburg and Reith, together with their spouses, to a long weekend at the Baltic resort "Damp 2000" from 25 to 28 October 1973. The gigantic holiday resort on the Schwansen peninsula on the Baltic Sea had only just been opened. For the employees from Reith, there was a tour of the factory in Rendsburg beforehand. They celebrated for three days in the hotel complex. Room and board were free for the employees. All the hotel's leisure facilities could be used. The celebrations were legendary, and people at ACO still talk about Damp today. Severin Ahlmann shone with his engaging, charismatic personality.
