Cadenberge – Gateway to the Wingster Schweiz
The municipality of Cadenberge is located in the southern Cuxhaven district, in close proximity to the charming Wingster Schweiz (Wingster Switzerland). With around 3,500 inhabitants, it is a vibrant center between the larger towns of Cuxhaven and Stade, closely connected to Low German tradition and language.
Marksmen's Club as a Pillar of the Village Community
The local marksmen's club is one of the central institutions of village life and the organizer of the annual marksmen's festival. As in many clubs in Lower Saxony, the tradition dates back several generations, and membership includes numerous local families.
Shooting Competitions and Royal Proclamation
The competition for the royal title is at the heart of the festival. At the club's shooting range, marksmen determine the new monarch, whose proclamation takes place in a solemn ceremony. The King's Dinner on Sunday forms the social highlight of the festivities.
Festive Parade and Volksfest Character
The grand festive parade winds its way through the streets of Cadenberge – marksmen in uniform, marching bands, friendly clubs, and the reigning monarch create a colorful spectacle. On the festival grounds, carousels, food stalls, and the marquee with live music provide a Volksfest (people's festival) atmosphere.
Date and Information
The exact date for 2026 will be announced by the Cadenberge Marksmen's Club in the spring. Interested parties can obtain current information from the Hemmoor collective municipality or directly from the local marksmen's club. Traditionally, the festival takes place in the summer.
