Schützenfest Buchholz

Buchholz Marksmen's Guild

The Buchholz Marksmen's Guild e.V. is part of the rich marksmen's tradition of the Schaumburg region. Throughout the year, the guild cultivates shooting competitions at the range; in summer, club life culminates in the grand marksmen's festival, which involves the entire village community.

Four Days of Festivities

With four days of festivities from Friday to Monday, the Buchholz marksmen's festival offers a relaxed program structure. Friday marks the festive opening, Saturday features the bird shooting and the king's ball, Sunday the grand parade, the king's dinner, and family day. Monday concludes the festival calendar with a quieter program and the traditional king's breakfast.

The Village of Buchholz

Buchholz is located in the Eilsen municipality, right at the foot of the Bückeberge hills. The village is among the particularly attractive locations in the Schaumburg district and, with its festival grounds, offers a fitting setting for the annual marksmen's festival. Hikers and cyclists stopping in Buchholz during the festival will find a welcome refreshment stop in the festival tent.

Networking in Schaumburg's Marksmen's Community

The marksmen's clubs in the Eilsen municipality maintain close ties with each other. Boards and delegations attend the respective festivals of neighboring communities, so that friendly clubs from Heeßen, Ahnsen, Luhden, and Bad Eilsen, as well as from the wider Schaumburg region, also participate in the grand parade on Sunday. This inter-municipal networking is a strength of Schaumburg's marksmen's culture.
