SV Ganderkesee from 1890

Founded in 1890, SV Ganderkesee is one of the older shooting clubs in the municipality. Over 135 years of club history are reflected in active club life with shooting training, competitive sports, and the annual organization of the Schützenfest. The club maintains its own shooting ranges and a clubhouse.

Schützenfest in the Main Town

As SV Ganderkesee is rooted in the main town of the municipality, the festive parade moves through the town center of Ganderkesee — along the main streets, past the town hall and the parish church. The Schützenfest thus has representative significance for the entire municipality.

King Proclamation Sunday 7 PM

The highlight of the weekend is the king proclamation on Sunday evening at 7 p.m. The reigning king relinquishes his title, and the new shooting king and queen are adorned with the king's chain and presented to the assembly.

Festive Parade Through the Town Center

Unlike clubs in the outlying districts, the festive parade of SV Ganderkesee goes through the town center of the municipality of Ganderkesee — along the main street, past the town hall and the parish church. This makes the Schützenfest an event with high public visibility.
