Customs and Club Life in Franconian Untermain

The Gauschützentag is the annual main event of the Schützengau Main-Spessart, an association of shooting clubs in Bavarian Untermain. The Gau belongs to the Bavarian Sports Shooters' Association (BSSB) and the German Shooters' Association (DSB) and unites the regional shooting clubs of the Aschaffenburg district and surrounding areas.

Stockstadt am Main: Host 2026

In 2026, Schützenlust Stockstadt will host the 73rd Gauschützentag – fittingly for its 100th club anniversary. Stockstadt am Main is located in the district of Aschaffenburg, directly on the Main river, southwest of the city of Aschaffenburg.

What a Gauschützentag Means

Unlike a classic Volksfest (people's festival), the Gauschützentag is a closed club gathering with a ceremonial character. It follows a strictly traditional structure:

  • Commemoration of the Fallen (Totenehrung) — Remembrance of deceased marksmen
  • Church Service in the local church (in Stockstadt, the Rosenkranzkirche)
  • Parade with flag delegations to the hall
  • Delegate Assembly with honors, annual reports, elections, motions

Who Attends

All shooting clubs and societies of the Schützengau are invited with their flag delegations, royal courts, and members. The host, Schützenlust Stockstadt, will provide catering. The contact person is the 1st Gauschützenmeister Volker Strähle.
