Traditional Schützenfest in the Reitland district of Stadland
The municipality of Stadland in the northern Wesermarsch region is one of the areas where the shooting club tradition is particularly cherished. Several districts have their own shooting clubs that host their festival days annually. Reitland is one of these districts where club members organize the festival with a great deal of volunteer effort.
The highlight is the King's Shoot, where the new shooting monarch is determined. Alongside this, trophy and youth shoots are held. The parade, usually accompanied by a marching band, winds through Reitland. Afterwards, the ceremonial crowning of the King takes place in front of the festival tent, complete with a crown, chain, and medal of honor.
In the evening, the festival tent fills with families, members, and guests. Live music, cold draft beer, and hearty food ensure a lively atmosphere. Schützenfeste in the Wesermarsch are intergenerational events where young and old come together.
The 2026 edition falls on the third Saturday in June, marking the beginning of the North German Schützenfest season. The Reitland Shooting Club is preparing the festival with the usual lead time: festival tent, marching band, registration of shooters.
The Schützenfest is the social highlight of the club's year. The new shooting monarch represents the club at numerous events until the next festival.
