It was a remarkable start to the Schützenfest of the Allgemeine Bürgerschützengilde 1616 Rheine. Due to Corona problems, the traditional taps in the city center could not take place this year. Instead, the marksmen and the friendly members of the Bürgerschützenverein Dorenkamp performed in front of the Falkenhof. The wind orchestra Rodde accompanied this prelude in whose center a short ecumenical devotion stood. In his remarkable sermon, Pastor Thomas Lemanski from the parish of St. Dionysius drew a connection between shooting in the past and today’s war in Ukraine.
