Tradition since 1954

The Duingen 1954 Shooting Club (Schützengesellschaft Duingen 1954 e.V.) is one of the major clubs in the municipality of Duingen, known for its old pottery tradition. With the Mayor Krumfuss Cup, named after a former mayor, they have established a challenge trophy that is competed for every August at the shooting range. In parallel, the traditional Citizens' Shoot takes place, in which interested citizens can also participate.

Archery Tournament and Fire Brigade Day

The Shooting Club not only cultivates classic shooting sports but also archery. The archery tournament on August 16, 2026 (9 am–6 pm) is open to active participants from several clubs. Within the competition week, a Fire Brigade Day (August 27) is also included, highlighting the close connection between the shooting club and the fire brigade in Duingen.

Duingen, Clay, Pottery, and Shooting

For centuries, the municipality of Duingen has been a center for earthenware production in the Leinebergland region. This craft history shapes the identity of the town to this day. Shooting sports, volunteer work, and club life play an equally important role. With competitions like the Krumfuss Cup, the 1954 Shooting Club contributes significantly to the cultural life of Duingen.

Krumfuss Cup Duingen — edition 2026

For almost two weeks in August 2026, the Duingen 1954 Shooting Club e.V. hosts its major sporting highlight. It kicks off on August 16 with an archery tournament from 9 am to 6 pm. Between August 20 and 26, several competition evenings will take place from 7 pm to 10 pm, where the Mayor Krumfuss Cup and the Citizens' Plaque will be awarded. August 27 features a Fire Brigade Day on the program, before the awards ceremony for all competitions on August 28. An event series that uniquely combines shooting sports, archery, and community spirit.

Archery Tournament, Shooting Week, Fire Brigade Day

The archery tournament on August 16 is a standalone competition, open to guests from neighboring clubs. This is followed by the shooting week at the range, where the Krumfuss Cup and the Citizens' Plaque are contested over several evenings. The Fire Brigade Day brings the local fire department to the range, making the close connection between the clubs visible.

Detailed Program

The exact detailed program for 2026 (competition classes, entry fees, supporting program) will be communicated by the Shooting Club on their website. The structure follows the proven cornerstones of previous years: first the archery tournament, then several shooting evenings with classic small-bore and air rifle competitions, Fire Brigade Day, and a festive awards ceremony.
