Two Schützenvereine in Lastrup
The municipality of Lastrup is unique in the Cloppenburg district: it is the only municipality in the district with two Schützenvereine. In addition to the traditional Lastruper Schützenverein von 1836, there is also the Schützenverein Lastrup 1875 e.V., which was founded almost 40 years later. Both clubs maintain their own festival traditions and jointly uphold the Schützenwesen (marksmen's traditions) in the community.
One-day festival format with an early start
Unlike the four-day main festival of the 1836 club, the festival of the 1875 club focuses on a single day with an unusually early start: Friday, May 22, 2026, from 8:30 AM. This early start time allows for a complete festival day, including a morning church service, midday king's shooting, an afternoon parade, and an evening king's dinner and proclamation.
Date and Information
Friday, May 22, 2026, from 8:30 AM in the center of Lastrup. Current information: schuetzenverein-lastrup.de and meinestadt.de/lastrup.
