Schützenball of the Soltau Marksmen's Guild

Schützenball as a Social Anchor

While the Soltau Schützenfest in July marks the summer highlight of the marksmen's year, the Schützenball in February is the social kickoff. Both events form the cornerstones of the club year and are equally valued by marksmen's families and loyal festival guests.

Alte Reithalle Soltau

The Alte Reithalle Soltau is a historic venue appreciated for its special atmosphere. With its architecture, height, and volume, it offers the ideal backdrop for a classic ball. The hall's historical connection to Soltau's traditions underscores the festive character of the event.

Classic Ball Program

The ball program follows classic festival sequences: festive guest reception, welcome by the board, festive speech, opening waltz, live dance music, festive dinner or snacks, and a relaxed conclusion. This sequence places the Schützenball within the centuries-old tradition of social festive events.

Schützengilde Soltau Stadt und Land

The Schützengilde Soltau Stadt und Land e.V. is the custodian of Soltau's marksmen's traditions and unites marksmen's families from Soltau and the surrounding communities. The Schützenball is one of the guild's most important social events and provides an opportunity to foster club life outside the main festival.

Affordable Admission

With an admission price of 10 Euros, the Schützenball is deliberately accessible. This pricing allows for broad participation and emphasizes the community-building character of the event. While commercial balls are often significantly more expensive, the Soltau Schützenball retains its character as a club festival.
