The Privileged Schützengesellschaft Braunau 1403 was founded in 1403 and is one of the oldest clubs in Austria .
history
On June 19, 1582, the riflemen from Braunau invited the riflemen from Hülla (Hallein) to a shooting on August 19, 1582. The original of this letter is on display in the Hallein Museum of Local History. A reproduction can be seen in the shooting range, as is a letter from 1604 with which the Reichenhall shooters were invited to Braunau to shoot. But when the occasional rifle organizations were replaced by a standing army in an emergency, they lost their importance and became sociable and traditional associations. From these, with the further development of weapons, sports clubs were formed. The Braunauer Schützen also went through this change. Your shooting range may have originally been in front of the Linzer Tor, on the market grounds. In the course of the construction of the railway, the shooting range had to be relocated.
With a contract dated June 29, 1878, the riflemen acquired two parcels of land from the couple Franz and Elisabeth Leeb, owners of the Bleichersölde, on which they set up the new shooting range. A wooden rifle house was built on the lot next to the Bleichersölde. The slope parcel on the other side of the Enknach served as a bullet trap. In 1938 after the “Anschluss”, the wooden rifle house was replaced by a brick building. After the company was reactivated in 1952, the facility was renovated. In 1954 Mrs. Karoline Kreil gave the riflemen a plot of land behind the bullet trap. In 1962 the facility was fundamentally rebuilt and DI Zelenka bought a hillside parcel with a spring. In 1967 the owner of the inn in der Bleiche, Rudolf Radlinger, sold 2,433 m² to the shooting club, which began planning the shooting center. In 1969 the small bore system was converted from 100 m to 50 m and equipped with ten modern target pull systems. Extensive protective measures (blinds) prevented the residents from being endangered.
On May 15, 1969 the converted facility was opened by Governor Dr. Heinrich Gleißner officially opened and visited by Federal President Franz Jonas, who also fired a shot of honor. The pistol stand was built in 1973 as a further expansion phase. In 1974 the remaining land was leased to the Shooting Section of the WSV, which then carried out the construction of the air rifle system and the ancillary rooms according to the existing plans.
Reactivation of the Privileged Schützengesellschaft Braunau in 1952
At the invitation of Franz Wesner, Hans Schafleitner and Franz Gann jun. 20 gentlemen met on Wednesday, May 7th, 1952 to reactivate the Privileged Shooting Society. Under the leadership of the oldest present shooter Georg Hofmann, the provisional club board (Schützenrat) was elected.
- Oberschützenmeister: Franz Wesner
- Shooting master: Hans Schafleitner
- Treasurer: Willy Scholz
- Secretary: Hannes Kraus
- Administrator: Max Kratzer
The first meeting of the Rifle Council took place on May 14, 1952. She dealt with further new admissions, the creation of the statutes and a labor (robot performance) at the shooting range for May 17, 1952.
On June 5, 1952, the new statutes were presented to the Braunau district administration. The club's assets were: Schützenhaus (desolate), bullet trap cover (desolate), various types of printing in the attic of the hall, approx. ATS 1000.-, rifle chain and rifle flag. The rifles saved through the war were confiscated. At the first general assembly on September 15, 1952, the statutes approved by BH-Braunau were adopted, the previous provisional board was confirmed as a rifle council and Max Kratzer, Josef Maier, Ferdinand Mayr and Helmut Kinz were elected rifle councils.
The first opening shooting was held on September 6th and 7th, 1952. Participation: 44 shooters from Salzburg and Braunau. The rifle march went from Weinhans to the shooting range with music, flag and Oberzielerer Gstöttner in uniform. On the Schleckerscheibe (standing) the first marksman was shot out. The youngest member Ferdinand Leidl became the rifleman with a lucky shot.
The final shooting was held on October 19, 1952. With a participation of 36 shooters, the deposit was ATS 15.00. Two thirds of the contribution and subsequent purchases were distributed as prizes. From October 1952, room rifles were used every Wednesday. Average participation 17 shooters. As of October 13, 1952, 75 shooters were recorded in the membership list.
