Almost 150 Years of Hollenstedt Marksmen Tradition
The Hollenstedt Marksmen's Association was founded in 1877 and looks back on an almost 150-year history. For over five generations, the association has shaped the marksmen's tradition in Hollenstedt and developed the annual Schützenfest into an indispensable part of village life.
Four Festival Days from July 10th to 13th, 2026
Friday to Monday forms the framework for the festival. Friday opens with the king's shooting and the first dance evenings in the marquee. Saturday brings the Grand Tattoo and the King's Ball, Sunday the festive parade and the Family Day, and Monday the festive conclusion with a morning pint and proclamation.
Folk Festival Atmosphere on the Fairgrounds
In addition to the classic club program, the Schützenfest Hollenstedt attracts with its folk festival component: carousels, dodgems, shooting galleries, Ferris wheel – a typical Northern German funfair character shapes the festival grounds. Families, children, and showmen will find a classic summer experience here.
Grand Tattoo
The Grand Tattoo on Saturday evening is one of the emotional highlights. In the encroaching darkness, torchbearers and the marching band enter, traditional music sounds, and the marksmen kings are honored. A moment that unites the village community in silent respect.
Festive Parade and King's Ball
On Sunday, the festive parade with marksmen, marching bands, and guest clubs marches through Hollenstedt. Afterwards, the marksmen's family celebrates the grand King's Ball in the marquee with a live band, dancing, and shared catering until late into the night. Monday concludes with a morning pint and the ceremonial proclamation of the new majesties.
