Schützenfest Diestedde

Schützenverein Diestedde — Club Life in Wadersloh

The Schützenverein Diestedde is one of the oldest and most active clubs in the Diestedde district of the municipality of Wadersloh. As in many villages in the Münsterland region, the Schützenwesen (marksmen's tradition) forms the backbone of social life — the marksmen's mass, parades, king couples, and club evenings structure the year. The venue is located at Lange Straße 35 in Diestedde.
