Tradition for Generations

The Schützenkorps Diepholz e.V. is a traditional club with a long history and a firm place in the district town of Diepholz. The Bürger-Schützenfest in Müntepark is the most important event in the club's year, combining a parade, bird shooting, king's dinner, and dance evenings into a three-day festival that involves the entire town.

Müntepark as the Festival Grounds

For many years, Müntepark in the center of Diepholz has been the setting for the Schützenfest. The large festival tent, which can accommodate hundreds of guests, is set up here. During the festival, the park becomes a meeting point for citizens, members of the corps, and guests from surrounding clubs.

Program: Parade, Bird Shooting, Dance Evenings

The classic program follows the proven cornerstones of North German marksmen's traditions. On Friday, the corps opens the festival with an assembly and welcome evening in the festival tent. Saturday features the grand parade through the Diepholz town center, followed by the king's dinner and a dance evening with a band. Sunday includes a morning pint (Frühschoppen), family day, and the king's proclamation before the festival concludes in the evening.
