Marksmen

From crossbows to shooting sports

tell a friend

The marksmen once had the task of supporting the town authorities “in warding off all kinds of external dangers”. They devoted themselves to shooting exercises approved by the authorities “for the purpose of defense”. That’s what it was called back then. Today, most historical shooting fraternities practise air rifle competition, which is shot both freehand and with a gun in the air.

There are over a dozen shooting fraternities in and around Jülich. However, the tradition does not only belong in the villages, but also in the city center. There are still two active brotherhoods here.

What Jülich offers for

*Dividing people into age groups provides a useful way of organizing and matching interests and activities. This allows like-minded people with similar life experiences and needs to come together to encourage social interaction and shared activities. However, it should be noted that this categorization is not always universally valid, as we humans have different interests and preferences. For example, a toddler may also enjoy senior bingo. Nevertheless, we have not grouped this activity into this category. The categorization only serves as a guidance!
