Four-day shooting festival of the Ramelsloh Shooting Club with 124 years of club tradition
In 2026, the Ramelsloh Shooting Club (Schützenverein Ramelsloh e.V.) looks back on 124 years of club history. For over four generations, the club has shaped the shooting tradition in Ramelsloh and developed the annual shooting festival into a firm institution of village life. The club's tradition is closely linked to the history of the historic collegiate town.
Friday to Monday form the framework of the festival. Four days of festivities centered around the first Sunday in August make the Ramelsloh shooting festival an extended summer highlight for the club family and the village community.
The highlight of every shooting festival is the competition for the royal title. The King's Shoot determines the new majesties of the club, who will shape the coming year and the next festival. The ceremonial proclamation on Monday afternoon honors the new kings among the shooting fraternity and the Ramelsloh village community.
The Grand Tattoo (Großer Zapfenstreich) on Saturday evening is one of the emotional highlights – traditional music sounds in the fading light under the glow of torches. The parade on Sunday leads the marksmen, the drum corps, and invited neighboring clubs through Ramelsloh, past the historic collegiate church.
The large festival tent on the shooting grounds at Breite Straße is the center of all evening events. Live bands ensure a full dance floor on several evenings. The Family Day with a children's king shoot, carousels, and games is aimed at the youngest guests. The morning pint (Frühschoppen) on Monday brings together the members with brass music before the final proclamation.
The 2026 edition marks the 124th occurrence in the club's history, thus being part of a long shooting tradition in Ramelsloh. As always, the entire village community is invited to celebrate together for four days.
The historic collegiate town of Ramelsloh, with its Romanesque collegiate church, provides a special setting for the shooting festival. The parade traditionally passes by this historic church.
