German shooting clubs hold traditional seasonal gatherings

Traditional shooting club gatherings took place in the Sauerland region of Germany. In Belecke, former shooting kings met with the current monarch, David Willecke, at the local fire station to show appreciation for the volunteer firefighters. The event included a tour of the facility led by Michael Döben, where participants viewed the vehicle fleet and used VR technology for virtual fire extinguishing training.

In Scharnhorst, the Schützenverein Scharnhorst held its triennial competition for former monarchs. Jörg Oldenburg won the title of 13th Emperor with 30 rings, while Angelika Mohr was crowned the 7th Empress with 27 rings. The event concluded with a formal proclamation and a communal meal.
