Almost 400 Years of Club History
The Schützenverein Aschendorf/Ems of 1632 e.V. looks back on an almost 400-year-old club history. Its founding in 1632 falls during the Thirty Years' War — an era when marksmen's brotherhoods organized in many places to defend citizens against the turmoil of war. From this tradition, the club evolved over the centuries into the current bearer of the Schützenfest tradition for the Aschendorf village community.
Aschendorf — Historic Papenburg District
Today, Aschendorf is a district of the town of Papenburg, but it was an independent municipality for a long time and has retained its village identity. The Schießhalle Aschendorf/Ems is the traditional festival grounds of the Schützenverein and the heart of club life.

Tradition with a Future
Like many old marksmen's clubs, SV Aschendorf upholds its traditions — festival service, King's proclamation, festive parade — and carefully adapts them to the needs of modern club work. Young members, children's and youth shooting, modern live music at the dance evenings — all complement the traditional program and secure the club's future.
