About Bürgerscheibe Gross Giesen

The Bürgerscheibe and the Dorfpokalschießen of the "Vaterland" Gross Giesen shooting club form a multi-part competition in June, in which club members and invited citizens can compete. For four evenings, participants will aim, chat, and cultivate shooting tradition in a convivial atmosphere at the Schützenhaus. The format gives residents the opportunity to try their hand at the shooting target themselves and to get in touch with active members, while also strengthening the club's bond with the village community in Giesen's Innerstetal.

Four Evenings for Club and Village

Unlike a classic Schützenfest, which takes place on a single weekend, the shooting in Gross Giesen is spread over four dates in June. This creates several small meeting points where members and interested citizens can gather in a relaxed manner without having to attend all dates simultaneously.

Bürgerscheibe and Dorfpokal

The focus is on two competitions: The Bürgerscheibe is traditionally open to the village community, while the Dorfpokal is contested among club members and, if applicable, invited teams. The results will be announced on the last shooting evening, followed by an award ceremony.

Gross Giesen, the Innerstetal, and the "Vaterland" Club

The "Vaterland" Gross Giesen shooting club is deeply rooted in the district and shapes club life throughout the year. Gross Giesen, like Hasede, belongs to the municipality of Giesen, located in the Innerste valley between Hildesheim and Sarstedt. With events like the Bürgerscheibe, the club contributes to the vibrant club landscape in a traditionally rural part of Lower Saxony.

Bürgerscheibe Gross Giesen — edition 2026

Over four evenings in June 2026 – on the 9th, 12th, 16th, and 19th – the "Vaterland" Gross Giesen shooting club will host the Bürgerscheibe and Dorfpokalschießen. Club members and invited citizens will meet at the Schützenhaus, take their positions at the shooting ranges, and then gather for a convivial evening. On the last date, the winners of the Bürgerscheibe and Dorfpokal will be honored. An event that combines shooting tradition with vibrant village life.

Spread Over Several Evenings

The division into four dates is part of the concept: those who are unable to attend on one evening have the opportunity to participate in the competition on another. This allows the club to ensure broad participation.

Program Structure 2026

The exact program for 2026 will be announced by the club in the spring. The structure follows the proven cornerstones of previous years: three shooting evenings for the Bürgerscheibe and Dorfpokal, followed by an awards and results evening with a convivial conclusion.
