Festival of Gunfire in Paderborn: Sande's Gun Show King Emerges
In the picturesque town of Paderborn-Sande, the shooting brotherhood St. Hubertus has announced the coronation of Reinhard and Regina Korfmacher as the new King and Queen of Sande. The much-anticipated shooting festival, set to take place from August 23rd to 25th, will celebrate the crowning of the royal couple.
Reinhard Korfmacher was crowned King during a bird shooting event, marking his 41st successful shot. His queen, Regina Korfmacher, has held the title since her coronation. The King's officers, Dieter and Ulla Wegener, will support the royal couple throughout the festivities.
The shooting festival is not associated with the 2025 season, and as of now, no information regarding the shooting festivals in OWL for that year has been provided. However, for those interested in 2022 events, the schedule is as follows:
- Fabian Adolph-Richter was crowned Crown Prince in the previous junior shooting king competition, while Nadine Wieneke became Junior Shooting Queen with her 105th shot.
- Tim Bürger was crowned Crown Prince with his 100th shot, and Lena Struck was crowned Scepter Princess with her 131st shot.
- Leonie Erhard was crowned Apple Princess with her 130th shot, and Niklas Struck was crowned Apple Prince in the previous junior shooting king competition.
- Jana Adolph-Richter was crowned Barrel Princess in the same competition, and Tilda Schmitz was crowned Children's Queen with her 178th shot.
The master of ceremonies, Oliver and Alexandra Sagel, will oversee the festivities. The exact dates for the shooting festivals in the Paderborn district for 2025 have not been provided, but it is worth noting that shooting festivals in the OWL region typically occur during the summer months, often between May and September.
