Tradition with New Dynamics
After a break of several years, the Bad Nenndorf marksmen's club successfully revived its Schützenfest in 2022. Since then, the festival has been celebrated annually on a weekend in July – an important date for the spa town, which is already experiencing an extraordinary event year with its State Garden Show in 2026. Frank Gerdau was proclaimed marksmen's king in 2025 and leads the club until the new king is chosen in the summer of 2026.
Four Days of Marksmen's Life
The Schützenfest traditionally lasts for four days, from Thursday to Sunday. It begins with a gathering, opening ceremony, and musical accompaniment. Friday often features a dance evening with a live band. Saturday is dedicated to the king's shooting, the grand parade through Bad Nenndorf, and the festive proclamation. Sunday concludes with a morning pint (Frühschoppen), family day, and the king's breakfast.
Schützenplatz in the Middle of the Spa Town
The Schützenplatz is centrally located and easily accessible from the surrounding neighborhoods. A festival tent, shooting ranges, food stalls, carousels, and a beer garden transform the grounds into a classic Schaumburg festival site. The citizens of Bad Nenndorf decorate the streets along the parade route with birch trees, garlands, and club flags – a sight that annually underscores the traditional character of the festival.
Embedded in the 2026 Festival Year
2026 is a special year for Bad Nenndorf: the State Garden Show will attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to the spa town between spring and autumn. The Schützenfest fits into this dense event calendar, offering locals and garden show guests a glimpse into one of the defining traditional festivals of the Schaumburg region.
