Bürgerkönigsschießen Nienstädt

Nienstädt Shooting Association

The Nienstädt Shooting Association represents the shooters of the Nienstädt municipality in the Schaumburg district and unites several local clubs under one roof. The annual Bürgerkönigsschießen is a central club event and has been maintained for decades.

Shooting Weeks Before the Proclamation

Approximately two weeks before the proclamation date, the actual shooting competitions take place. On the shooting evenings in the Schützenheim, members compete with air rifles and small-bore rifles in several disciplines. The best scores in the respective classes decide the new Majesties.

Majesties 2026 Determined

For the club year 2026, the dignitaries have already been determined: Lian Timpe takes over the office of Youth King, Maike Lütkebohmert that of Youth Queen. Nils Lütkebohmert will be the new Shooting King, Michael Wallis the Veteran King. The connection of several family names in a royal succession reflects the close club structure and the intergenerational bond.

Proclamation on May 5, 2026

The festive proclamation takes place on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at the Schützenheim Nienstädt. The new Majesties receive sashes and crowns, are entered into the club register, and represent the Shooting Association until the next king is chosen. A ceremonial speech, honors for long-standing members, and a social evening with live music round off the event.
