Schützenfest Salzgitter-Fümmelse 2026

Shooting Tradition in Fümmelse

Fümmelse is a district in the southern part of Salzgitter, integrated into the Bad district. The local shooting club has been preserving the customs of marksmanship for generations and hosts the Schützenfest annually in the summer. This event is one of the most important social occasions in village life, bringing together members, citizens, and guests from the region for multi-day festivities.

Affiliation with the Salzgitter District Shooting Association

The Fümmelse Shooting Club is part of the Salzgitter District Shooting Association, which brings together numerous clubs from the city and the surrounding area. This organizational integration ensures the preservation of supra-regional shooting customs, competitions, and a vibrant club life that is passed on to younger generations.

Program and Atmosphere

As is customary for Schützenfeste in Lower Saxony, the king's shoot is the central event of the festival. The new monarch is proclaimed with a solemn ceremony and honored throughout the festival. Festive parades through the streets of Fümmelse, the assembly of companies and delegations from friendly clubs, dance evenings with live music, and convivial gatherings in the festival tent characterize the event. A family day with activities for children is also part of the standard program.

The rural surroundings, with the Salzgitter ridge and its proximity to the city of Wolfenbüttel, give the Schützenfest its special character.
