About Schützenfest Salder/Heerte

The Schützenfest Salzgitter-Salder/Heerte is the annual club festival of the joint shooting club of the two districts in the Salder district. Both villages are closely connected – Salder is home to the Municipal Museum in the Renaissance Castle, and Heerte lies northwest of it in the rolling hills. The exact date for 2026 will be published by the club in late spring/early summer; the festival usually takes place in the summer. The program follows the classic North German Schützenfest (shooting festival) schedule with bird shooting, king proclamation, festive parade, marquee evenings, morning pint, and king's dinner. The organizer is the Schützenverein Salder/Heerte, a member of the Salzgitter District Shooting Association.

Salder and Heerte

Salder is one of the oldest and most culturally significant villages in the city of Salzgitter. The Salder Renaissance Castle now houses the Municipal Museum and is the venue for Advent gatherings, summer cultural events, and special exhibitions. Heerte, the neighboring district, is located in the gentle rolling hills and is characterized by its rural nature. The joint Schützenverein Salder/Heerte connects both villages and organizes the annual Schützenfest.
