Heidhausen — Village on the Mittelweser
Heidhausen is a district of the municipality of Stolzenau in the Nienburg/Weser district and part of the Mittelweser collective municipality. The small village is characterized by a close-knit community and active club life. The shooting club, fire brigade, and village community jointly uphold the cultural traditions of the area.
Heidhausen Shooting Club
The Heidhausen Shooting Club is a fixture in the district's community life, organizing the traditional shooting festival at its own shooting range every summer. Friendly clubs from neighboring villages in the Mittelweser collective municipality are invited and participate in the festive parade and shooting competition.
Day Event at the Shooting Range
The festival is designed as a day event on Saturday and begins at 2 PM. The shooting range offers facilities for the shooting competitions as well as space for the festive parade reception and the subsequent social program points. Its compact format makes the festival family-friendly and manageable.
Significance of the Village Shooting Festival
Village shooting festivals like the one in Heidhausen contribute significantly to the identity of rural communities. They combine tradition, sociability, and club life, and are often the most important occasion of the year for former villagers to return and celebrate the community. Although the festival cannot be compared in size and external impact to large city festivals, its social value for the district is very high.

The shooting club will communicate the detailed 2026 program via notices in the village and through the Mittelweser collective municipality. The schedule follows the proven Heidhausen tradition.
