Schützenfest Dibbersen-Dangersen — 100 Years Anniversary

Schützenverein Dibbersen-Dangersen von 1925

The Schützenverein Dibbersen-Dangersen und Umgebung von 1925 e.V. was founded in 1925 and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2025. For over a century, the club has cultivated the Low German shooting tradition in the Buchholz districts of Dibbersen and Dangersen and passed it on to each subsequent generation. The club's history reflects the eventful times of the 20th century and shows how tradition and change combine in a shooting club.

50 Years of the Ladies' Section

The Ladies' Section was founded in 1975 and looked back on 50 years of successful club work at the 2025 anniversary Schützenfest. The establishment of an independent Ladies' Section in the mid-1970s was a pioneering step for the opening of the shooting tradition. Today, female shooters are an indispensable part of club life and represent a significant portion of active members. The parallel anniversary underscored the importance of the female shooting tradition for the club.

The Star March of the Seven Brass Bands 2025

The musical highlight of the anniversary Schützenfest was the grand star march on Saturday, June 21, 2025. Seven brass bands marched from different directions towards the festival grounds and gathered there in a star shape for a joint concert. 27 friendly shooting clubs from the region participated in the parades through Dibbersen and Dangersen. The star march was complemented by the Seevetaler Blasorchester, which provided the musical accompaniment for the festival. Marching bands and brass bands with their flags, uniforms, and instruments filled the town with music — an acoustically and visually impressive sight.

Dibbersen as a District of Buchholz

Dibbersen is a district of the city of Buchholz in der Nordheide in the Harburg district. The rural character and close-knit village community shape daily life in Dibbersen. The shooting club is a central figure of identification here and a bearer of village tradition. The 2025 anniversary Schützenfest strengthened this identification function and mobilized not only club members but also the entire local population and numerous friendly clubs from the Nordheide.

The Double Anniversary 2025

The 2025 edition was celebrated with significantly increased effort and greater resonance than the annual main festivals. Around 500 shooters, numerous delegations of friendly shooting clubs from the Nordheide, and guests of honor from politics and club life participated. The double anniversary of 100 years of the club and 50 years of the Ladies' Section made the weekend a historic moment for Dibbersen. The regular annual Schützenfest with proclamation will continue in Dibbersen — the next date is June 13, 2026.
