About Schützenfest Urneburg

The Schützenfest of SV Urneburg is one of the few three-day Schützenfeste in the Ganderkeseer Schützenbund. Over the weekend of August 15 to 17, 2026, the club will celebrate in the Urneburg district of the municipality of Ganderkesee — from Saturday evening until the traditional festival Monday, when the program concludes.

The highlight is the proclamation of the new shooting kings and queens on Sunday at 7:30 PM. Free admission to the public program.

SV Urneburg in the Schützenbund

SV Urneburg is rooted in the Urneburg district of the municipality of Ganderkesee and is one of the twelve member clubs of the Ganderkeseer Schützenbund. The club maintains a clubhouse, shooting ranges, and a festival grounds where the annual Schützenfest takes place.

Three-Day Format

Unlike most clubs in the Ganderkeseer Schützenbund, SV Urneburg celebrates its Schützenfest over three days — from Saturday to Monday. This extension allows for an even more packed program: bird shooting, king shooting, festival parade, family day, king's dinner, and a convivial musical conclusion on festival Monday.

King Proclamation Sunday 7:30 PM

The central moment of the weekend is the proclamation of the new shooting royalty on Sunday evening at 7:30 PM. The new shooting kings and queens are adorned with the king's chain, the outgoing king is bid farewell, and the new court is led to the king's dinner.

Festival Monday Tradition

The third festival day on Monday is characterized by conviviality — morning pint, shared lunch with the new court, and a relaxed conclusion in the afternoon and evening.
