Privileged Marksmen's Guild – An Old Tradition

The epithet "Die Privilegierten" refers to historical privileges that marksmen's guilds enjoyed in many North German cities from the early modern period onwards. Marksmen's guilds were often endowed with special powers in defense and social prestige. The "Privileged" marksmen of Salzgitter-Bad preserve this heritage to this day and organize their festival with great attention to historical details and a sense of tradition.

Pfingstanger Fairground

The Pfingstanger fairground in Salzgitter-Bad is the traditional home of the marksmen's festival as well as other folk festivals such as the spring market. The spacious grounds offer room for the festival tent, amusement rides, stalls, and social gatherings after the shooting competitions.

Folk Festival Atmosphere

Beyond the marksmen's competitions, the festival offers classic folk festival attractions: carousels, bumper cars, throwing stalls, shooting galleries for folk festival marksmen, candy stalls, bratwurst, and beer. Live music and dance evenings in the festival tent ensure a lively atmosphere in the evening.

Program to Follow

As usual, the "Privileged" Marksmen's Guild will publish the exact date and program for 2026 in the spring. Interested parties can find information through the official club channels and the event website volksfeste-in-deutschland.de.
