The Rheinische Schützenbund ( RSB for short ) is a registered association that was founded in Düsseldorf in 1872 . His area of ​​responsibility is congruent with the former Rhine province and with Rheinhessen and thus extends over the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate . The Rheinische Schützenbund is the umbrella organization of sport shooters in the Rhineland and as such a member of the German Schützenbund (DSB). The number of members is currently around 73,000. The formal legal seat is the North Rhine-Westphalian city ​​of Cologne (entry in the register of associations under 401903); since 2005 the office has been in neighboring Leichlingen (Rhineland) .

As a state umbrella organization, the Rheinische Schützenbund is the only point of contact for the state sports association of North Rhine-Westphalia and in Rhineland-Palatinate for the sports associations of Rhineland and Rheinhessen, for the clubs affiliated to it.

history

The Rheinische Schützenbund was founded in Düsseldorf in 1872 as the umbrella organization for all shooting clubs in the Rhine Province. After the Second World War, the victorious powers banned shooting clubs. When this was repealed in the young Federal Republic, the RSB was re-established at a meeting in Bonn in 1951. The so-called Rheinische Schützentag has been taking place regularly since this year. This is organized by changing member associations or subdivisions.

Memberships

The club itself is a member of the German Shooting Federation. This forms the umbrella organization for sport shooters in Germany and is in turn a member of international associations such as the International Shooting Sport Federation or the German Olympic Sports Confederation .

Individuals cannot become members of the Rheinischer Schützenbund directly. Their membership exists through the shooting club to which they belong. These currently around 975 clubs represent a good 73,000 members in the Rhenish Shooting Federation.

Through membership in the RSB, the respective sport shooters are also members of the state sports federations in their federal state. The north (Düsseldorf administrative region) and the central (Cologne administrative region) are located in North Rhine-Westphalia and belong to the State Sports Federation of North Rhine-Westphalia via the RSB , while the southern region is in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate and belongs to the Rhineland and Rheinhessen sports associations to the State Sports Association of Rhineland-Palatinate .

Internal disciplines of the regional association

The state associations of sport shooters are autonomous with regard to their self-administration and their sporting rules, provided that they implement the regulations made for the DSB within the framework of the recognition procedure according to § 15 WaffG . The regional associations are authorized, on the basis of their own approved regional disciplines, to express endorsements under the law of weapons for their own territorial area.

The Rheinische Schützenbund has also included the following disciplines in its sports program as special disciplines:

  • 15 m Zimmerstutzen hook
