Schützenfest Ramelsloh

124 Years of the Ramelsloh Shooting Club

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.

Four Festival Days from July 31st to August 3rd, 2026

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.

King's Shoot and King's Proclamation

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.

Grand Tattoo and Parade

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.

Festival Tent, Dance Evenings, and Family Day

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.
