Abstract

Alle fünf Jahre wird in Förste/Nienstedt der "Schüttenhoff" gefeiert, eine südniedersächsische Sonderform des Schützenfestes. An fünf Tagen um Pfingsten finden Umzüge statt. Deren Hauptmerkmal ist das Verteidigen, Erstürmen und Beseitigen der meist von Anliegern oder örtlichen Vereinen errichteten Barrikaden durch drei "Kampfkompanien", die Schützen (Angriff), die Buren (Verteidigung) und die Pioniere (Räumung). Der Film zeigt zwei der fünf Umzüge, den der Männer vom Pfingstsonntag und den der Frauen vom Dienstag darauf.

Every fifth year in Förste/Nienstedt people gather to the "Schüttenhoff" (shooters court), a special form of Schützenfeste (festival with side-shows, including marksmanship) found in southern lower saxony. For five days at Easter processions of three "battalions" take place symbolizing the storming, defence and conquering of barricades erected by inhabitants or local associations. The three "battalions" are the riflemen (responsible for taking the barricade), the farmers (responsible for defending the barricades) and the pioneers (responsible for mopping up). Two of the five processions are shown, men on Whitsun Sunday and women on the following Tuesday.
