Schützenfest Landegge (Haren)

Landegge — A Haren District with Identity

Landegge is a small district of the town of Haren (Ems). Like many places in the Emsland region, Landegge has preserved its village identity despite being incorporated into the town — and the local Schützenverein (shooting club) is one of the most important custodians of this identity. The annual Schützenfest is the highlight of club life and a meeting point for the entire Landegge village community.

Anniversary 2026

In the official calendar of the Bürgerschützenverein Haren, the Schützenfest Landegge on July 18, 2026, is explicitly marked as an anniversary. The exact anniversary being celebrated — the precise number of years will be communicated by the club in advance — cannot be directly determined from the entry. However, anniversary celebrations are always special occasions in the shooting club world, featuring an expanded program.

Classic Schützenfest Program

The traditional Schützenfest program is at the center of the event:

• Vogelschießen (bird shooting) to determine the new Schützenkönig (shooting king)
• Königsproklamation (king's proclamation)
• Festumzug (festive parade) through Landegge
• Festgottesdienst (festive church service)
• Tanzabend (dance evening) in the festival tent
• Festwirtschaft (festival catering) with regional dishes

Anniversary celebrations often include: a festive speech, honors for honorary members, a reception for friendly clubs, and an extended dance evening.

Date and Information

The exact program, times, and the precise anniversary theme will be communicated by the club in advance — information available at bsv-haren.de/termine (which lists the Schützenfest dates for Haren clubs).
