Schützenfest St. Cornelius Geyen 1927

98th Schützenfest — Tradition in the Pulheim District

In 2025, the Geyen shooting companies once again gathered around Ascension Day for the annual festival weekend. Dance evening, parade, election of the king, and subsequent crowning ceremony — the proven festival schedule of the St. Cornelius club has followed the same rhythm for generations, keeping the Rhenish shooting tradition alive in the Pulheim district.

The members of the St. Cornelius Schützenbruderschaft Geyen, the brass band, and the friendly shooting clubs from the surrounding Pulheim districts worked together during the festival weekend. The family program with magician Minimax and a bouncy castle once again made the Schützenfest an opportunity for the next generation of shooters — an important pillar of the club's work in preparation for the 100th-anniversary celebration in 2027.
