A remnant of the old German defensiveness lives on in the rifle clubs. The townsfolk used to join forces to form rifle leagues, which practiced shooting with crossbows and later firearms. Today the clubs only have a sporting and social character. The high point is the annual shooting festival, where the best rifleman is chosen for the Schutzenkoning.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph captures the essence of Schutzenfest, a traditional Shooting Festival in Germany. The image depicts a scene from the festival where townsfolk come together to showcase their shooting skills and camaraderie.
In the past, these rifle clubs were formed as a means of defense, practicing with crossbows and firearms. Today, however, they have evolved into more of a social and sporting activity. The annual Schutzenfest remains the highlight of the year, where the best marksman is crowned as the Schutzenkoning.
The artwork beautifully portrays the festive atmosphere of Schutzenfest, with people dressed in traditional attire and enjoying various activities related to shooting sports. The intricate details and vivid colours bring this cultural event to life on paper.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a piece of German heritage that continues to thrive through generations. It serves as a reminder of how traditions can evolve while still preserving their essence and significance in society.
This illustration is not just a visual representation but also a celebration of community spirit and pride that has been passed down through centuries at Schutzenfest.
