Schüttenhoff in Förste/Nienstedt 1989 (1993)

Documentary · 55m

Every fifth year in Förste/Nienstedt people gather to the "Schüttenhoff" (shooters court). For five days at Easter processions of three "battalions" take place symbolizing the storming, defence and conquering of barricades erected by inhabitants or local associations. The three "battalions" are the riflemen (responsible for taking the barricade), the farmers (responsible for defending the barricades) and the pioneers (responsible for mopping up). Two of the five processions are shown, men on Whitsun Sunday and women on the following Tuesday.
