75 Years of the Groß Varlingen Marksmen's Association
The Groß Varlingen Marksmen's Association was founded in 1951 and is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2026. This makes the association one of the traditional clubs in the municipality of Stolzenau in the Nienburg/Weser district. The anniversary coincides with the 75th anniversary of the Groß Varlingen Local Fire Brigade — an exceptional occasion that shapes the entire festival year 2026 in Groß Varlingen.
Double Anniversary 2026
The double anniversary will be celebrated with a whole series of events throughout the summer months: August 28th Festival Ceremony of the two associations, August 30th Marksmen's Festival as the main event, October 3rd Oktoberfest with the party band Bubingas, and October 4th Harvest Festival (Erntedankfest). This chain of festivals underscores the close connection between the two associations and their central role for the Groß Varlingen village community.
"Unter den Eichen" Festival Grounds
The venue is the "Unter den Eichen" festival grounds, a traditional site under old oak trees on the outskirts of Groß Varlingen. The natural atmosphere with the shady trees gives the festivals a special character and offers space for the festival tent, shooting ranges, and catering.
Program for the Marksmen's Festival on August 30th
Starting at 11 a.m. with the assembly of the marksmen, a festive opening, a parade through Groß Varlingen with friendly clubs and marching bands, king's shooting at the festival grounds, king's dinner for the dignitaries, and an afternoon for children with entertainment and an evening of dancing.
Significance for Groß Varlingen
Groß Varlingen is a district of the municipality of Stolzenau. Despite being incorporated into a larger administrative unit, the marksmen's association, the fire brigade, and the village community have preserved the independent identity of the village. The double 75th anniversary in 2026 is an impressive testament to the vitality of these village clubs and their role in shaping identity.
