100th Anniversary of SV Wagenfeld-Förlingen e.V. – Festival Tent, Lighting, and Program for All Generations
With its 100th anniversary in 2026, the Schützenverein Wagenfeld-Förlingen is marking a significant milestone. Founded in 1926 during a financially challenging period of the Weimar Republic, the club has survived political upheavals, two world wars, societal changes, and multiple generations of members. Today, it is a vibrant pillar of community life in Förlingen.
The club house, Schusterkrug at Oppenweher Straße 101, serves as both home and festival grounds. For the 2026 anniversary, a specially erected festival tent with extensive external lighting will transform the premises into a festive spectacle. The atmosphere is intended to be worthy of this special occasion.
An official ceremony with speeches, tributes, awards for deserving members, and greetings from the community and friendly clubs forms a special part of the program. The club's history will be documented in a commemorative publication and displayed in an exhibition.
As with every Schützenfest, the competition for the royal title is central. Marksmen compete at the club's shooting range, and the social highlight follows with the proclamation of the new monarch. In this anniversary year, the title is particularly coveted.
A grand parade with friendly clubs from the region will march through the Förlingen district. Drum and bugle corps, marksmen in uniform, club banners, and the reigning monarch will create a colorful spectacle.
The program is extensive. Live music, dance evenings for adults, a family afternoon with a bouncy castle, a children's carousel, and a children's shooting competition, plus a morning pint with brass music – every age group will find suitable activities.
Catering is provided by the club and partners. Bratwurst, fries, shashlik, coffee, cake, beer, and drinks will be offered in the festival tent and on the outdoor grounds.
The 2026 edition is a special highlight in the club's history. Founded in 1926 during a challenging economic period, the club has survived a whole century of vibrant tradition and is now one of the firm pillars of the Wagenfeld district of Förlingen.
The anniversary will be celebrated with both ceremonial dignity and exuberant festive atmosphere – a blend that perfectly reflects the self-image of North German marksmen's clubs.
