Tackhütte – District in Giesenkirchen

Tackhütte is a small district on the eastern edge of Mönchengladbach's Giesenkirchen district, on the border with Erkelenz and Selfkant. The district has a few hundred inhabitants, its own parish church, a few shops, and a shooting club that shapes local life: the Schützenverein Tackhütte 1958.

Shooting Club since 1958

The Schützenverein Tackhütte 1958 was founded in 1958 and has been the most important club in the district ever since. Like many Rhenish-Lower Rhenish shooting clubs, the association cultivates the connection between shooting sports, customs, and conviviality. With about 100–150 active members, the club is manageable but lively – its main annual event is the Schützenfest.
