About Jägerausmarsch Brome

The Jägerausmarsch of the Brome Riflemen's Association (Schützenverein Brome) is one of the most traditional events in the club's year and a firmly established part of Brome's festival culture. On a Saturday in June, the riflemen and the Jägercorps Brome march all day long into the Bromer Busch, the extensive forest area around the historic market town of Brome. Shooting competitions in the forest, marching together with friendly clubs, and a convivial daily routine characterize the event. Brome – former main town of the Bromer Ländchen and today part of the Samtgemeinde Brome in the district of Gifhorn – is an impressive location for such a tradition with its historic Brome Castle and narrow half-timbered streets.

Brome Riflemen's Association

The Brome Riflemen's Association (Schützenverein Brome e.V.) is one of the oldest and most active clubs in the Samtgemeinde. In addition to regular sporting competitions, it organizes the Schützenfest, the Jägerausmarsch, and the children's Schützenfest – three events that structure the club's year. Closely linked with the Jägercorps Brome, the preservation of military-style riflemen's rituals is combined with a strong social component.

The Jägerausmarsch

The Jägerausmarsch is a separate event from the actual Schützenfest. It leads the riflemen into the Bromer Busch for the entire day – an extensive forest and heathland area where the club holds its shooting competitions, morning pint (Frühschoppen), and evening get-together. The march through the forest, the competitions at several shooting ranges, the outdoor catering, and the convivial conclusion make the day an unforgettable experience that few clubs have preserved in this form.

Brome – Historic Market Town in the Wendland Region

Brome is a historic market town in the north of the Gifhorn district, on the border with Saxony-Anhalt. In the Middle Ages, it was the seat of the Welf dynasty, and Brome Castle is now a landmark and museum. The half-timbered architecture of the town center, the old mill, and the market square characterize the place. Its location in the so-called Bromer Ländchen connects the Wendland region with the Lüneburg Heath.

Alte Gilde Cup Shoot

Preparations for the Jägerausmarsch also include the Alte Gilde Cup Shoot on May 9, 2026, where older members and honorary members test their skills. This smaller, more intimate event is in direct tradition to the Jägerausmarsch and is part of the extended festival year.

Jägerausmarsch Brome — edition 2026

The 2026 Jägerausmarsch of the Brome Riflemen's Association will take place on Sunday, June 21, 2026, all day in the Bromer Busch. Riflemen and the Jägercorps Brome march from the club house into the forest area, where shooting competitions, a joint lunch, a morning pint (Frühschoppen), and a convivial daily routine form the program. The event follows the tradition of historic Jägerausmärsche and is one of the special features of Brome's festival culture. In advance, the Alte Gilde Cup Shoot will take place on May 9, 2026, as a smaller preliminary event.

The Jägerausmarsch is a separate event organized by the Brome Riflemen's Association, clearly distinct from the actual Schützenfest. Its special character arises from the relocation of club activities to the Bromer Busch for the entire day. Marching, competition, conviviality, and catering in the forest combine to create an authentic experience.

The riflemen assemble in the morning at the club house and march together to the festival grounds in the forest. Shooting ranges are set up there, seating areas are prepared for catering, and the festival tent is erected. Competitions, joint meals, and speeches take place throughout the day. The Jägercorps Brome contributes its own program items.
