Neuss Schützenfest
The Neuss Schützenfest, officially the Neuss' citizens' marksmen's festival ((ドイツ語:Neusser Bürger-Schützenfest)) is the Schützenfest of the German city of Neuss. It is held annually on the last weekend in August. With more than 6.900 parading marksmen it is smaller than the Hanover Schützenfest but is regarded as largest marksmen's festival in the world that is organized by a single association and does not include platoons from other cities. The year 2011 saw the largest number of trooping marksmen to date, with 6951 marksmen taking part in the parade.〔Carina Wernig: (''Neusser feiern ihren König'' ). In: ''Neuss-Grevenbroicher Zeitung'', 29 August 2011. Retrieved 9 September 2011〕 The marksmen's festival with its ''royal parade'', several processions, royal shooting competition and a great number of accompanying events is a social highlight of the city of Neuss and the surrounding area and attracts up to a million visitors each year. The largest number of visitors to date was recorded in 2007, with 1.5 million people coming to watch the Schützenfest.
== The Regiment ==
While the Schützenfests of the Middle Ages were primarily military in character, cultivation of traditions and social aspects are the main focus of the modern day festivities. For this reason, the marksmen wear uniforms with mock guns, often decorated with flowers sticking out of the barrel.
In 2012 the regiment comprised 7,259 active, i.e. parading, marksmen and musicians all in all. It is divided into different corps, each wearing their own distinct dress uniform. The Schützenfest is organized by the ''Neuss citizens' marksmen's association'', of which all marksmen are members. This association is headed by a committee of 10–12 members, among them the Colonel (''Oberst''), the highest-ranking officer. Ceremonially the Schützenfest is represented by the King of Marksmen (''Schützenkönig''), who is determined each year in a traditional shooting competition. Application for the regality is open to all marksmen, however, it involves a lot of expenditure of time and money from both the king and his wife and for his children, optionally. The king is not a member of the association's committee, however.
