Sorgensen Celebrates
Sorgensen is one of the smaller villages in the town of Burgdorf. Its marksmen's festival, despite – or perhaps because of – its manageable size, is a vibrant example of Lower Saxony's marksmen's culture: a festival ground, a marquee, a dedicated club family, and the entire neighbourhood gathering for the weekend.
Two Days of Programme
Saturday, May 29th, 2026
- Assembly of marksmen, opening of the marksmen's festival
- Bird shooting contest to determine the new monarchs
- Grand festive parade through Sorgensen in the afternoon
- Evening: King's proclamation and dance evening
Sunday, May 30th, 2026
- Morning: Frühschoppen (morning pint/gathering)
- Afternoon: Family programme with children's entertainment
- Evening: Wind-down in the marquee
Riethornweg Festival Grounds
The festival grounds at Riethornweg are located in the centre of Sorgensen and offer the infrastructure for the marquee, shooting range, and catering. Parking is available on the adjacent streets.
Burgdorf's Diversity of Local Marksmen's Festivals
With the Schützenfest Sorgensen, the district joins the dense network of Burgdorf's marksmen's festivals. In addition to the central Volks- und Schützenfest (people's and marksmen's festival) of the Burgdorf Marksmen's Society of 1593, Otze, Ramlingen, and other villages also celebrate their own festivals – a wealth of living tradition that characterises the town.
