Schützenverein Mühlen/Kroge-Ehrendorf of 1919
The Schützenverein Mühlen/Kroge-Ehrendorf e.V. of 1919 unites the villages of Mühlen (district of Steinfeld in Oldenburg) and Kroge-Ehrendorf (districts of Lohne in Oldenburg) in a shared club tradition. Founded shortly after the First World War, the club has preserved its customs for over 100 years and is now one of the largest shooting clubs in the southern Vechta district.
Minister President Olaf Lies as Guest Speaker
A political honor in 2026: Minister President Olaf Lies is announced as the guest speaker for the ceremonial address on Saturday, June 13th. Lies, originally from Sande in the Friesland district, has close ties to the Oldenburger Münsterland and honors the club's tradition with his appearance. The ceremonial address, alongside the parade, is one of the highlights of the festival weekend.
Schützenplatz at Schützenstraße 37
The festival backdrop is the Schützenplatz at Schützenstraße 37 in Mühlen (postal code 49439). The well-established club grounds feature a festival tent, shooting range, club building, and parking spaces for visiting friendly clubs. Despite its administrative address belonging to Mühlen/Steinfeld, the club has many members from Lohne and sees itself as a cross-border club community between the two municipalities.
Four Days of Festivities, Daily from 3 PM to 11:45 PM
The festival runs daily from 3 PM to 11:45 PM over four days. This extended festival period allows for a full program including the opening day, ceremonial address with a political speech, parade, king's shooting, king's proclamation, king's ball, and a morning pint finale.
