Traditional Schützentag of the Goldisthal Riflemen's Association in the Schwarzatal
Goldisthal is a small municipality in the south of the Sonneberg district in the state of Thuringia, located in the Upper Schwarzatal near the Rennsteig. The village is primarily known for the Goldisthal pumped-storage hydroelectric power station — one of the largest in Germany — and for its preserved mountain village atmosphere with half-timbered houses and an active club scene.
The Goldisthal Riflemen's Association e.V. is one of the oldest clubs in the village. Marksmanship has deep roots in Thuringia — many riflemen's associations date back to the 18th and 19th centuries and combine sport shooting with the preservation of customs. The Schützentag, alongside the King's Shoot, is the most important club festival of the year.
The Schützentag begins on Saturday at 2 PM at the Goldisthal Schützenhaus. The program includes the King's Shoot, a shooting competition for club members, a festive parade through the village, and a dance evening in the festival hall of the Schützenhaus. Beer service and hearty food round off the festival. Guests are welcome — the Schützentag is one of the few major village festivals of the year in Goldisthal.
The annual traditional festival of the Goldisthal Riflemen's Association begins on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 2 PM at the Schützenhaus. King's Shoot, festive parade, dancing — a classic Thuringian Schützentag in the Schwarzatal.
