Schützenfest in the Fehn Area
Elisabethfehn is one of the largest districts of the municipality of Barßel and is located in the historic Fehn area between Cloppenburg and Saterland. The Schützenfest Elisabethfehn is organized by the local Schützenverein and is one of the fixed summer dates in the village. In the Fehn area, North German shooting traditions and the independent cultural identity of the Fehn settlements merge — Elisabethfehn is known nationwide for its Moor and Fehn Museum.
King's Shooting and Festival Weekend
The king's shooting, where the new Schützenkönig (shooting king) is determined, takes place on Saturday, May 30th, 2026. The actual Schützenfest follows two weeks later on June 13th and 14th, 2026. The focus is on the king's retrieval, the festival parade, proclamation and coronation, as well as the festival church service.
"E'fehn rockt" — Cultural Party on the Eve
A special feature of the Elisabethfehn Schützenfest is the cultural party "E'fehn rockt", which takes place on the eve of the Schützenfest (Friday, June 12th) in the festival tent. It is aimed particularly at a younger audience and brings regional bands to the stage. This allows the association to combine shooting traditions with contemporary formats and extend the festival weekend to three days.
