The rifle club Lohne eV from 1608 is the largest rifle club in the city of Lohne (Oldenburg) . The year 1608 refers to the first documented mention of bird shooting in Lohne. The catchment area of the association extends to all districts and integrated communities of the city of Lohne.
The Lohner Schützenfest is the second largest in Lower Saxony after the Hannover Schützenfest . It is nationwide as the second largest shooting festival, which is organized by a single shooting club and in which no other clubs such. B. Carnival groups or sports clubs participate. Only the Neuss citizen shooting festival is bigger.
history
Before 1608
There is little evidence for the history of this period because sources were lost through wars and calamities. On August 24, 1623 and Pentecost 1637, Tilly's troops looted Hopen and parts of Lohne. The church books of Lohne before 1683 are considered lost. The archive of Vechta, which until then u. a. the church records also contained from Lohne, burned out in 1684. There is a decree of Prince-Bishop Johann IV from the year 1571, in which it was determined that the bird shooting should not last longer than an afternoon and that for every 20 people no more than one ton (barrel) of beer could be bought and served. Each participant should go home before dark.
The first mention of an event similar to a shooting festival is said to come from 1524. This cannot be documented for Lohne. There are logs of the Burgmanns before 1608, but without mentioning a shooting at the same time. It can be assumed that such events have taken place. But there are no documentary mentions.
June 17, 1608 to 1836
The meeting at the " Vogelstaken " in Loene (old form of Lohne) is mentioned in the minutes of the Burgmannen of June 17, 1608, who spoke right on that day . The bird stake was a practice shooting at a wooden eagle, which was attached to a pole (the bird stake, bird pole). Usually the winner of the bird stick was made king.
"On June 17, 1608 the Hern officials and Burgmannen near Loene, where Vogelstaken were together, had been proponerated there by the here Drosten, which the Vnderthanes recently inflicted an exceedingly great harm on by the Hispanic., Of which judicial signing already made, So the castle men wulte to cover up, what to do about whether one let sulchs get to the hern sulte first, or something to Lingen vnd Oldenzaell, too, because the lonschen were threatened by the soldiers because of the hit, and the whole ambt was in danger I would have to fertilize what to do in Deme. "
At the frequent meetings of the castle men, the secretary had to take the minutes and enter the minutes one after the other in the record book. In 1608 a total of 20 meetings took place, four of them in Lohne. The rifle club Lohne established its more than four hundred year history on the basis of these protocols. The Burgmannen protocols can no longer be found. However, CH Niberding has literally quoted the minutes in his writings and in the book History of the former Niederstifts Münster . Therefore, the protocols are seen as authentic and also accepted as a source in scientific papers.
After the Thirty Years' War , the Prince-Bishop of Münster, Christoph Bernhard von Galen , laid the foundations for protecting the population. He ordered that every resident of the Vechta office (to which Lohne also belonged) had to provide himself with a gun from his own resources. A retired soldier was assigned to each parish, who had to instruct the able-bodied men of the village in drill and shooting.
In the bishopric of Osnabrück, to which the neighboring village of Damme also belonged, bird shooting was regulated by Prince-Bishop Franz Wilhelm von Wartenberg in a separate regulation in 1657 .
"All old ..., in previous troubled times a bit disintegrated customs renewed and brought into gangk, ... so that the men can practice shooting and exerce, even if necessary ... with the rifle all the better and perform profitable services .... First of all, Underthanen are supposed to go to the Orth every year and wherever it has been from ancient times for everyone to hold bird shooting…. The shooting is to be held annually ... between Easter and Jacoby (July 25th) .... On such certain days, stundt and t orth, the residents ... should appear with their rifles, on which they were set from old age .... The bar should be prepared beforehand and be ready on the square by the next day…. Whenever he comes up to shoot, a silver bird, which procures every orths bird shooting, ... is to be hung on the pole ... The one who then, according to the judgment, will have brought the bird ... should, on the other hand, wear the common running flags, as guards, iron, wolf hunts and the like personnel services, ... be free ... and the one who so felled the bird should, according to old custom, Koningk be named. "
Bird shooting remained almost unchanged until the 18th century, although it increasingly lost its military character. In some cities such as B. Vechta and Wildeshausen, bird shooting was transferred to shooting societies or guilds. In the more rural areas, the tradition of bird shooting gradually died out in most of the villages. The local landed gentry forbade it in many cases in their lands, as the danger of poaching by armed serfs was considered too great.
1836 to 1933
Tradition has it that in 1836 another royal shooting took place in Lohne. No written source has survived about the implementation or kings of the first years. The year 1886 can be documented, as the rifle club was given a new flag by the Grand Duke of Oldenburg due to its fiftieth anniversary . This flag was only replaced by a new one in 1923.
“The same made of white silk and bears the Oldenburg coat of arms on one side with the inscription: 'One God, one right, one truth'. On the other side the marksmen's emblems with the inscription: 'Ueb Aug' and Hand für's Vaterland '. "
The flax and yarn manufacturer Anton Bramlage (* 1816, † 1913) set a record within the shooting club that has not been broken until today. He was King of the Lohner Schützen in 1841, 1846, 1847 and 1854. No other shooter could win four royals. Each king added one medal to the royal chain. This remains on the chain. After his tenure, the ex-king wore an order of the king on his jacket.

Club flag from 1923, the text remained unchanged. Practice for the fatherland
In June 1887, 125 citizens signed a commitment to become a permanent member of the newly founded shooting society. The new flag donated the previous year was ceremoniously inaugurated on July 3, 1887, the shooting festival Sunday. This inauguration was announced by a separate article in the Vechtaer Zeitung on July 1, 1887. The shooting society came mainly from wealthy citizens from wages, such as B. manufacturers, merchants, craftsmen and independent farmers. Lower classes of the population, such as B. Workers, hirers and servants were limited to the role of spectators and visitors to the fairground.
In 1894 the membership fee was 1 mark. Another mark had to be paid if you wanted to take part in the royal shooting. On the fairground there were several cake stalls, a fish stall, a shooting range and a carousel since 1887 to entertain the guests. A glass of beer cost 10 pfennigs, a cup of coffee 15 pfennigs, soda 20 pfennigs, a portion of sandwiches 25 pfennigs and potato salad with sausages 45 pfennigs.
In June 1894 the cigar manufacturer Friedrich Wilhelm Haller became the rifle king in Lohne. Traditionally, his reign was supposed to last a year. On June 3, 1895, it was decided at the rifle meeting in the "Schützenhäus auf der Heide" that the rifle festival should not be celebrated this year due to the animal show taking place. With a one-year break, the next shooting festival wasn't until 1896. Friedrich Wilhelm Haller is the only king in the history of the Lohne shooting club with a consecutive term of two years.
Since it was very difficult for ordinary workers, servants and wage earners to become members of the shooting society, the Volksschützenverein was founded in 1902. In 1903 the Lohner rifle guild was founded from members of the shooting society and members of the people's shooting club. Thus, three rifle festivals took place in Lohne until the “ Gleichschaltung” in 1933. This three-pronged approach existed until 1933 when all existing clubs were dissolved due to the coordination.
The clubs celebrated their own shooting festival independently of each other, except during the First World War when no shooting festivals were held. It was not until 1919 that rifle festivals took place again in Lohne. On May 1, 1919, the Lohne music association was founded. In July 1919 the first concert took place in front of the Lohner Schützengesellschaft. The town band of Lohne later became the Musikverein.
1933 to 1945
In 1933, with the Gleichschaltung and the Führer principle , the existence of the Lohne shooting club was also endangered. As part of this synchronization, both the rifle club, the people's rifle club and the Lohner rifle guild were merged. The new club was forcibly called Lohner Schützenverein . This existed until the compulsory dissolution in 1939. During the Second World War , no official shooting festivals were celebrated and no kings were expelled. Despite the merger, there were rifle festivals in Lohne that were independent of the Nazi regime. Subpoenas and court records from this time prove a lived independent shooter system.

The rifle system in Lohne continued immediately after the war. Several "old" companies celebrated their own festivals every year as riflemen. In 1950 the Allied occupying powers allowed a rifle festival again. This was held under the pre-war name "Lohner Schützenverein". The first post-war king was Josef Weghoff in 1950 with Queen Lissy Weghoff from the 6th company "Brink-Nord". In 1954 the Vechta District Court ruled that the shooting club did not cease to exist during the National Socialist and war years.

Since 1964
In 1964 the association was restructured into its present form. The area of the city of Lohne was divided into seven areas and each assigned a battalion. Existing companies were assigned to the battalions according to the company premises. Since this restructuring, the new statutes of the shooting club and the shooting and disciplinary rules apply to all members.
The rifle club Lohne took part in the Steuben Parade in New York and the rifle festival in Brooklyn in 2000 . There, the rifle club of Lohne was able to place first place in the team classification as well as the best individual shooter with Heinrich Lindeburg.

Royal year 1980/81
At the 1980 Schützenfest, Franz-Josef Nordlohne from the 5th Company, 1st Platoon, "Dei Danner" was able to achieve royal dignity. He died on January 29, 1981 during his tenure. The shooting year 80/81 is the only year in the history of the club in which the king was unable to present his king's chain to his successor. 1981 was the first year in which a holy mass for dead shooters was held on Schützen Saturday. This was initiated by Kaplan Karl-Heinz Westerkamp. This mass is still an integral part of the shooting festival and takes place in the church of St. Gertrud .
400 years of Lohner Schützenfest
From July 12th to 14th, 2008, the rifle club Lohne celebrated the 400th rifle festival. The anniversary motto was: "The future needs the past - 400 years of the Lohner Schützenverein". In the anniversary year, Walter Kampers, who ruled together with his wife Ulla, became the shooter king. They called themselves "King Walter from the Northern Air" and "Queen Ulla from the Schellohner Wind".
Shooting Festival 2020
Due to the restrictions caused by the corona epidemic in Germany , the board of the Lohner shooting club was forced to suspend all activities in the shooting range and the club until further notice. Since it was clear by the date of the shooting festival on the second weekend in July that a major event like the Lohner shooting festival would not be approved, all planning was stopped in advance and bookings that had already been made were canceled. The board of directors and the battalion commanders at the board meeting before the shooting festival once again made it clear that all events on this weekend were private events and that these were not organized or insured by the shooting club. The regimental order issued on July 6, 2020, which stipulates the course of the shooting festival, also clearly stated that no shooting festival would take place in 2020. This resulted in some changes for the club. The reign of His Majesty Hans-DieterHonkomp and his Queen Annette was extended from 2019/20 to 2019/21. Just like the reign of his children's majesty Moritz Voth with Queen Carolin Swoboda. The regimental order challenged flags under the heading ! all shooters of the club, provided they have a flagpole, to decorate it with the marksman's flag. This should make it clear that the Schützenfest took place this year as well. An online shooting festival took place "once and not again" on Saturday. Several speeches and greetings were streamed and three DJs played music all day. The music bands that accompany the parades every year were paid 20% of their fee as support according to a board resolution.
Year of foundation 1836 or 1608
Until well after the Second World War, 1836 was named as the founding year of the Schützengesellschaft and thus the direct successor, the Schützenverein Lohne. In 1961 the 125th anniversary was celebrated. When the association was restructured in 1964, it was assumed that the founding was 1836. The sleeve pennant still bore the inscription "Lohner Schützenverein OSB 1836". It was only with regard to the Nieberding writings, which deal with the history of the former Niederstift Münster, that 1608 was established as the year of foundation in the 80s and it was included in the club name. Since then, the club has been called Schützenverein Lohne e. V of 1608.
Structure of the association
The board of directors
The board consists of the president, the 1st deputy president, the 2nd deputy president, the manager, the treasurer, the equipment and equipment manager and the shooting attendant.

Spielmannszug Lohne
In 1959, at the general assembly of the Lohne rifle club, it was decided to train an in-house drum and piper corps. Donations at the meeting made it possible to obtain four drums, six flutes and the tambour and baton. A year later, a 12-man band marched out for the first time for the shooting festival. In the meantime, the Spielmannszug Lohne von 1959 eV is an independent association, which is the 98th company "Spielmannszug Lohne eV" and is a member of the Lohner Schützenverein.
City chapel of Lohne
On May 1, 1919, the Lohne music association was founded. Already in July 1919 there was the first public appearance at the Lohner Schützengesellschaft , a predecessor of the Lohne shooting club . On October 22, 1953, the Lohne music association was renamed Stadtkapelle Lohne eV at a general assembly . The connection between the town band and the shooting club still exists today. The town band is run by the rifle club as a member and 97th company “Stadtkapelle Lohne eV”. In 2019, the Lohne town band celebrated its 100th anniversary.
Shooting club Lohne
The shooting sports club Lohne in the rifle club Lohne eV is an independent club, but in its statutes it is a member of the Lohner rifle club . According to the statutes, the association serves exclusively and directly for sporting purposes, training in shooting sports and youth work. The association represents the interests of the Lohne shooting club and various umbrella organizations for its members .
Schützenplatz, shooting range and Schützenhof
The Schützenplatz is on Steinfelder Straße, right next to the stadium. The main square is overgrown with linden trees and lies between the Schützenhof and the shooting range. The large lawn borders the Lohner city forest and is covered by the large marquee at the Schützenfest. The Schützenplatz does not belong to the shooting club, but is leased for events by the city of Lohne. The Schützenplatz was originally located off the road behind the sports field, below the observation tower built in 1908. Around the middle of the last century, the entire area east of the road to Steinfeld between what is now Josefstrasse and Südlohne consisted of uncultivated heather. Afforestation began here around 1900.
“The highest point on Lohne is the so-called Grevingsberg, in the east; It has always been everyone's wish that it should finally be planted, so that the easterly winds, which are often so sensitive over the moor and the bare heights, break or. would be held, finally Pastor Holzenkamp has earned a general thank you by having the whole area tilled with trucks; only a few more years and we will be bothered less by the rough east. "
Today's Schützenplatz was planted with fruit trees and linden trees from 1906. The linden trees are still standing today.
The Schützenhalle is located on the eastern edge of the Schützenplatz. This is where the sanitary facilities and the shooting ranges are located. There is a separate room with twelve 10-m air rifle stands, twelve 50-m stands and, separated from them, six additional 50-m stands, which can be extended up to 100 m. On the main stand there is a system for the running boar . The proclamation stage is located directly next to the shooting range.
The Schützenhof is located directly on Steinfelder Straße and is a hotel with a restaurant. It currently houses the Sohnemanns restaurant . The first building at this point was built in 1866 by Johann Heinrich Debering on the Chaussee from Lohne to Steinfeld . This building was extended for the first time in 1869. In 1888, the landowner Theodor Gellhaus sold the lands of Gut Brettberg and Lisette Kreymborg acquired the property of today's Schützenplatz. For 20 Reichsmarks , she made the space available to the rifle club and the rifle host. Joseph Balthasar Feusi later took over the inn with his wife and became the landlord in the Lohner Schützenhof himself. In 1904, the Feusi couple sold the Schützenhof and the space belonging to it to the Lohner Schützengesellschaft. Master tailor Clemens Burschey was the tenant of the inn and manager of the square. In 1906 the Schützenhof was expanded to include a bowling alley and a new hall. This lease lasted until 1927. In 1928 the house was demolished and replaced by a new building. Due to financial difficulties, the Schützenhof was sold to master mason Johann Fahling in 1928. In 1968 ownership passed to businessman Friedrich Nordmann from Wildeshausen. In 1979 the city of Lohne acquired the Schützenhof.
In 2019, the facility for shooting at the running boar was taken out of service and dismantled as part of the renewed stand inspection and annual renovation.
Women's company
You become a member of the Lohner Rifle Club by joining a company. In theory, entry is open to women, but almost all companies consist entirely of men. As a rule, women become members of the association if they are either in the town band or in the marching band. In order to give all women the opportunity to become members of the association, it was proposed to found a women's company. The then President Burkhard Krapp then called twice a founding meeting and called on the women of Lohner to appear on those days for the foundation and to name a company executive. Not enough women turned up on both dates and the company could not be formed.
Shooting festival
The shooting festival in Lohne traditionally takes place on the second weekend in July from Saturday to Monday. In addition to the official dates, many companies and battalions also have their own celebrations and events before and after the shooting festival. The Schützenfest itself takes place on the Schützenplatz.
The official dates of the association for Saturday are a reception in the town hall, the Holy Mass in the St. Gertrudkirche, the children's parade, the Kommers with the proclamation of the child king, youth dance in the marquee, the march for the Great Zapfenstreich and the Great Zapfenstreich as a conclusion. On Sunday, the shooters line up with a subsequent parade, the senior coffee in the marquee, the award ceremony for the children's and youth shooting, the proclamation of the integration king and the ball in the marquee. On Monday the shooters line up with a subsequent parade, the proclamation of the new king on the Schützenplatz and the Schützenball in the marquee.
Children's shooting festival
The children's shooting festival takes place on the Schützenplatz on the respective Schützen Saturday. It begins with the move of the children and riflemen after the rifle service in the city center and ends with the beginning of the comming. During the children's shooting festival, the child king is shot out. In addition, there are play facilities for all children on the Schützenplatz, such as B. bouncy castles , a puppet theater , a guessing game , juggling and various game stands are offered free of charge. Every child who takes part in these play options is rewarded with a prize. In 2017, over 600 small prizes were given to children. The two Kinderwarte from the board of the association are responsible for the implementation and organization. Since they accompany the children's parade at the beginning and carry out the evaluation of the children's king-size shooting during the children's shooting festival, they are supported every year by volunteers from the Lohner youth fire department and employees of the Lohner youth club. All children who have participated in at least six games can have their participation stamped on a participant slip. These are collected and after the shooting festival the respective children's majesty draws 50 winners. These get a price like z. B. Cinema vouchers or tickets for the open-air theater in Lohne .
motto
Every shooting festival since 1964 has had its own motto. Every shooter in Lohne can submit a motto to the board in the run-up to the shooting festival. This person selects the annual motto from the submitted mottos. The shooter who submitted the motto receives the motto on the Kommers and is allowed to give a speech on his motto in front of the assembled shooters. The Mottoorden is one of the seldom bestowed medals in Lohne, as it is only awarded once a year.
Kommers
On Saturday, the Schützenfest takes place in the festival tent on the Kommers' Schützenplatz . The board of directors carries out honors, promotions and awards. The tradition of the Kommers includes the greetings of the mayor of Lohn and a speech by an invited honorary speaker. The child king is enthroned on the Kommers . The speakers were u. a. Olaf Lies , Peter Altmaier and David McAllister .
Removals
During the Lohner Schützenfest there are four official and a large number of unofficial marches.
Torchlight procession to the Great Zap
On the respective Saturday of the Schützenfest, after the Kommers, the riflemen march out for the Great Zapfenstreich at the town hall and St. Gertrud's Church. The march out begins at Schützenplatz and leads over Steinfelder Straße into town, follows Brinkstraße, turns into Vogtstraße and ends on the town hall forecourt or in front of St. Gertruds Church. The venue changes annually between Rathausplatz and the church. After the tattoo, the move dissolves freely.
Children's move
On the respective Saturday of the shooting festival, after the shooting service in St. Gertrud's Church, the shooters gather in downtown Lohn. The children who want to take part in the shooting for the child kingship lead the procession behind the regimental flag. The move begins on the square of the Lohner weekly market at the level of the Heinz restaurant , turns away from the city at the corner of Lindenstrasse and Brinkstrasse, follows Brinkstrasse and Steinfelder Strasse to Schützenplatz.
Riflemen's parade on Sunday
The individual companies meet in their respective company pubs in the morning. From there they march to their battalion seat. As soon as the battalion is assembled, it marches with music bands and guests to the regimental entry point on the Küstermeyerstraße park pallet. From there, the regiment set off on Küstermeyerstrasse in the direction of Keetstrasse. From Keetstrasse, the train turns towards the city center, passes the weekly market to the corner of Lindenstrasse and Brinkstrasse. He follows Brinkstraße out of town, then continues along Steinfelder Straße to Schützenplatz.
Riflemen's parade on Monday
.jpg)
The move on Monday is almost identical to the previous day. Foreign visiting clubs and bands are sometimes only there on Sundays, so the parade is a little shorter.
Unofficial marches
In the week before and during the Lohner Schützenfest there are many smaller marches. Some battalions march to their commanding officer to raise the flag. Individual companies also often march through wages during this time. It can happen at any time during this week that riflemen can be found in marching formation in Lohne.
King's shooting
During the Lohner Schützenfest three kings are shot out:
Child king
After the children's parade, the children's king's shooting begins in the club's shooting range. Every Lohner child may fire two shots. The child with the highest number of rings becomes the new child king or child queen. There is no gender segregation. Laser rifles are used for shooting at the 10 m air rifle range. The proclamation of the new child king takes place on the Kommers in the marquee. The winners of places 2 to 5 represent the ministers for the throne. Each of the top five winners chooses a companion. The Lohner Children's Throne thus consists of a total of 10 children. Young people aged 13 and over are allowed to shoot, but they are evaluated separately. As an incentive for this age group, three cash prizes are given to the best shooters each year. In addition, places 6 to 30 will be honored with a medal on the Schützen Sunday on the proclamation stage.

Integration king
The integration group Lohne is an association of handicapped and non-handicapped wages with the aim of giving all wages the opportunity to participate in normal life. In 1996, the integration group took part in the shooting festival at the invitation of the Lohne rifle club. Since the shooting ranges were manned by supervision, the integration group shot their first king out. The king of integration was Mark Medzech, who was also a member of the 9th company "Wichel" and the Lohne minstrel. The then rifle king Andre Wilke donated his own king's chain for the integration group. In response, the shooting club donated the tiara for the queen. The line of integration kings has not been interrupted to this day. The proclamation of the integration king takes place on the Sunday of the shooting festival in the marquee.

other events
Royal festival
It has become established within the shooting club that the respective king organizes an event during his term of office. In recent years, these have included a beach volleyball tournament, football tournaments, biathlon tournaments or themed events. The proceeds from these events are generally donated for charitable purposes. So that the respective royal throne is relieved, the seven battalions of the Lohne Rifle Regiment have been organizing a benefit event for charitable purposes every year since 2018.
Uniform exchange
On the Wednesday before the shooting festival, a uniform fair will be held in the shooting hall.
King ball
In January the King's Ball takes place in a ballroom in Lohne. Any shooter can take part.
Laser shooting for children
Every first Sunday of the month there is practice shooting on the 10 m air rifle range with laser rifles for children in the club's shooting range. Originally this practice shooting was only organized by three battalions. Later all battalions took part and it was opened to all children who want to participate, regardless of the club membership.
music
Lohner rifle march
The Lohner Schützenmarsch was called the Lohner Victory March in the commemorative publication from 1867. It was wrongly assumed that the Lohner Schützenmarsch was composed by the conductor Halbbrod from Drebber . The architect Reinhold Buschmann was able to get the music back through the conductor Anton Göttke. In the 1920s, the march was recorded by the Lohner Musikverein (today Stadtkapelle Lohne eV ). The sheet music had since disappeared again. Since the preparations for the 400th anniversary of the Schützenverein Lohne eV in 1608 in 2007, the search for the score has started again. After 12 years of intensive search through the archives of the rifle club, the statement that the conductor Halbbrod had composed the Lohner rifle march was refuted . This made use of the victory march of Johann Gottfried Piefke and renamed it summarily. With this knowledge, after a long search, a music publisher was found that still had the score. The sheet music was acquired and bound as a bookbinder and handed over to the Lohner Stadtkapelle on May 1, 2019 for the 100th anniversary of the Presidium of the Lohner Schützenverein in the town hall hall. At the Kommers 2019, the Lohner Schützenmarsch was voiced again for the first time in almost 100 years.
Lohner shooting song
The song When Schützen marchieren , based on the melody of the folk song Hohe Tannen, the stars point , was written by Hauptmann ad Heinz Brandt. It was the company song of the 5th Company, 1st Platoon, "Dei Danner". In 1979, on the orders of then President Alois Diekstall, it became a Lohner rifle song . Heinz Brandt received the Association's Great Order of Merit for this.
Das Lohner Schützenlied

Other shooting clubs with citizens of the city of Lohne as members
Schützenverein Bokern-Märschendorf eV
In 1955, the Lohner Bauerschaften Bokern and marches village of the shooting club Bokern marches Village Association was founded. Those living in the two peasant communities officially belong to the residents of the city of Lohne, but primarily identify with their peasantry. The shooting club Bokern-Märschendorf has around 400 members and seven companies today. There is a close friendship between him and the Schützenverein Lohne eV from 1608 , which is honored with mutual visits to the respective shooting festival.
Schützenverein Mühlen eV from 1919
In 1919 the Schützenverein Mühlen eV was founded in the mills belonging to Steinfeld . In this way, Mühlen signals a distance to the Steinfeld parish seat. For the same reason (keeping a distance from the political community to which they belong), riflemen in the Lohner district of Kroge-Ehrendorf decided to join the Mühlen rifle club. Today the shooting club has around 800 members and six companies.
Although Lohner from Kroge and Ehrendorf are not members of the Lohne shooting club, there is a close friendship between the Mühlen shooting club and the Lohne shooting club, which is honored with mutual visits to the respective shooting festival.
Bürgererschützen- und Heimatverein Harsewinkel from 1845 eV
1845 in Harsewinkel the Bürgerschützen- and Folk Society Harsewinkel from 1845 eV (BSV Harsewinkel) was founded. The club is divided into three battalions with 1,300 riflemen. The friendship between the BSV Harsewinkel and the rifle club Lohne can be traced back to the year 1988. The clothing store Bruno Kleine celebrated the topping-out ceremony for its new store in Lohne. The 5th Company, 1st Platoon, "Dei Danner" had its company bar in the immediate vicinity, and the company's riflemen were present at the topping-out ceremony. Bruno Kleine was invited by them to the company's morning pint. On this morning pint Bruno Kleine joined the 5th Company, 1st Platoon, "Dei Danner". At the same time he was also a member of the BSV Harsewinkel in the III. Company. This resulted in mutual company visits and many cross-company friendships. Several shooters from Lohne and Harsewinkel are now members of both clubs. In 2014, the companies celebrated 25 years of friendship in both Lohne and Harsewinkel.
