About Schützenfest Wittmar

The Schützenfest Wittmar is hosted by the local marksmen's association in the summer of 2026 at the Wittmar Schützenheim (marksmen's club house) – a tradition that has grown over generations in the Wittmar district of the municipality of Baddeckenstedt. With a king's shooting competition, a festival parade, a festival tent, a dance evening, and a family program, the festival typically spans several days and offers all generations a welcome opportunity to celebrate together. The focus is on determining the new marksmen's majesties, the festive proclamation, and the exuberant parade through the village. Accompanied by music bands and traditional costumes, the Schützenfest combines historical customs with vibrant village community and is a highlight in Wittmar's event calendar.

Wittmar in the municipality of Baddeckenstedt

Wittmar is a district of the municipality of Baddeckenstedt on the northern edge of the Asse ridge. The tranquil village with its rural structures cultivates a lively club culture that shapes village life. The local marksmen's association is one of Wittmar's traditional clubs and, with its annual Schützenfest, is a central player in village life.

Wittmar — known for the Asse-Wirtschaft

Beyond the village community, Wittmar is regionally known for the Asse-Wirtschaft, a traditional excursion inn at the foot of the Asse ridge. Schützenfeste in Wittmar benefit from this easy accessibility for visitors from the surrounding communities of Baddeckenstedt, Haverlah, Heere, and Heisede.

Schützenfest with a classic schedule

Schützenfeste follow a traditional pattern: opening of the festival with the march of the marksmen, king's shooting competition over the first few days, bird shooting for the children, evening festival dance in the tent, Sunday morning pint, grand festival parade with music bands, festival church service, festive proclamation of the king, and a joint king's banquet. Catering in the festival tent with regional specialties rounds off each festival day.
