The Auetal

Every year, usually in January, the theater group Die Auetaler performs a Low German play in the large hall of the Schützenhof Ahlerstedt . Low German has been played in Ahlerstedt since around 1935.

societies

Shooting club

The Ahlerstedter Schützenverein was founded on June 25, 1925. In the Gasthaus Bockelmann (today's Schützenhof Ahlerstedt) a couple of young men wanted to celebrate a birthday and then to Harsefeld for the shooting festival . Later on, however, they discovered that if they were to go to the rifle festival, they would not be home in time for the morning milking. So they decided to found their own shooting club in Ahlerstedt. The next day they were able to convince over fifty people of this through the postman Schnackenberg. A lease agreement between the shooting club and the Gasthaus Bockelmann dated July 29, 1925 has been handed down. The first rifle festival, however, took place in the Duncker inn on Zevener Strasse (demolished in 2001). The first shooting range was at the Hopfenhof. The celebrations took place in the tent or barn of the Bockelmann inn. In 1928/29 the first shooting range was built in the Gasthaus Bockelmann, which had to be demolished in 1946 on the orders of the English occupation , but was rebuilt in 1949. In 1956 the club host Bockelmann had a new shooting hall built. In 1967 a women's department was set up. The shooting club and the shooting festival are among the most important pillars of village life in Ahlerstedt.
