The Rheinische Schützenmuseum Neuss with the Joseph-Lange-Schützenarchiv was founded in 2004. The sponsor is the foundation "Rheinische Schützenmuseum Neuss with Joseph-Lange-Schützenarchiv", which is supported by the city of Neuss , the Rhein-Kreis Neuss and the Neusser Bürger-Schützen-Verein . The chairman is the honorary president of the Neuss citizen shooting association, Thomas Nickel
The aim of the museum with archive is to record, secure and present the rich tradition of the rifle clubs and rifle brotherhoods throughout the Rhineland and to make them accessible for research. It is housed in the Rottels house in Neuss .
The idea for a rifle museum and archive came from the Neuss rifle king in 1959/60, Joseph Lange (1911–2007), who presented a stained glass window as a royal gift with the remark that a rifle house should now be built “around it”.
Since February 2005, two scientific part-time workers have been working in the museum and archive, who are responsible for the construction. The first exhibition was the presentation of the Neuss silver treasure in June 2005 on the occasion of the Neuss Culture Night.
In May 2006 a new scientific series started: "Contributions to the Rhenish Rifle Society". The editors are the scientific staff Dr. Britta Spies and Dr. Christoph Waldecker . Volume 1 is dedicated to the initiator of the Rifle Museum and Archive, Joseph Lange, on his 95th birthday and is entitled "Neusser - Citizen - Schützen. The Joseph Lange Collection / Neusser Bürger-Schützen-Verein ”( ISBN 3-936542-24-4 ). The volume contains Lange's contributions to the Neuss rifle being from several decades as well as the finding aid of his collection, which has been assembled over many years, which in large parts is more of a documentation.
