Spanning two floors, the Büren Shooting Club Museum offers insights into the history of the shooting club and the town’s fortifications. Historical documents, flags, uniforms, and everyday objects tell the story of more than 525 years of the Büren shooting club’s history.
On the ground floor of the tower, the focus is on the history of the town’s fortifications. Documents spanning some 600 years illustrate their development. Among the most notable artifacts are records documenting the use of marksmen in witch trials.
On the upper floor, the history of the Büren marksmen comes to life. Among the oldest exhibits are rulebooks from the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. The exhibition also sheds light on the Nazis’ attempts to suppress the marksmen’s tradition outside of Nazi organizations.
Everyday objects from the 19th century, as well as medals and uniforms from the 20th century, round out the exhibition and paint a multifaceted picture of the oldest club in the town of Büren.
