Marksmen's Festival at the Steinhuder Meer
Steinhude, with its approximately 5,000 inhabitants, harbor, promenade, and fishing village charm, is one of the most famous places on the Steinhuder Meer. The annual marksmen's festival brings village tradition to this tourist setting and is the social highlight of the summer months for the Steinhude marksmen's family.
Three Days of Events
The festival follows the typical marksmen's festival program for Lower Saxony:
- Friday: Assembling of the marksmen, opening ceremony, first dance evening
- Saturday: Bird shoot, grand festive parade, proclamation of the king, dance evening
- Sunday: Morning pint, family afternoon with children's entertainment, winding down
One of Seven Local Marksmen's Festivals in 2026
A total of seven local marksmen's festivals will take place in Wunstorf in 2026: in Steinhude and six other districts. They complement the city's marksmen's festival and together form a long season of marksmen's cultural summer throughout the city. The festival in Steinhude benefits from its special tourist location.
Around the Festival: Experience Steinhude
Those who combine the marksmen's festival with a weekend at the Steinhuder Meer will find a wide range of activities: boat trips to the island fortress of Wilhelmstein, fish specialties in the restaurants at the harbor, water sports, a lido, and walks along the promenade. Steinhude is easily accessible by bus from Wunstorf.
