Schützenfest in Düsseldorf: Chain of the head of the shooting missing!
symbolic loss for the shooters in Düsseldorf
on July 19, 2024, the last day of the traditional shooting festival in Düsseldorf, the chain of the head of the shooting was stolen. This incident happened after a spectacular fireworks display that formed the end of the festival. Despite extensive safety precautions, many shooters and visitors are shaken by this loss.
The ideal value of the chain
The chain not only has a material value, but also an immense symbolic meaning for the St. Sebastianus shooters from 1316 and the entire city of Düsseldorf. In their press release, the shooters emphasize that the loss of the chain is perceived as a severe blow to the association and the community. This tradition not only shapes the cityscape, but also the identity of many citizens.
Investigations by the police
The police have meanwhile started investigations to identify the perpetrators and bring the chain back. The shooters themselves are stunned because they were sure that the chain was well kept. They suspect that the thieves may observe where the chain was stored. It remains questionable how such security gaps could be overlooked.
an appeal to the perpetrators
In an emotional appeal, the shooters are aimed at thieves: They ask you to return the chain anonymously to avoid further damage. If this is done, the shooters are ready to withdraw the criminal complaint. Interested parties can do this with the police or directly with the lawyer Jens Hartmann in Düsseldorf.
The importance of tradition
The St. Sebastianus shooters have a long tradition in Düsseldorf and are a central component of urban customs. Such incidents throw a shadow on the community and ensure that the vulnerability of traditions becomes visible, especially in times of celebrations. The loss of the chain could serve as a wake -up call for the shooters and the city to rethink and strengthen the securing and appreciation of cultural goods.
