Tradition in change: Wildeshauser guild discusses gender issues!
The focus is on the current discussions about women's rights in the local rifle guild in the city of Wildeshausen. Thore Güldner, a member of the Wildeshauser Schützengilde and member of the state parliament of the SPD for 17 years, has commented on the latest events in an open letter. Güldner, who does not speak for a specific group or initiative, plans to take part in the demonstration of the group "Guild for All" on June 13th. In this context, he is concerned about the decision of the General Assembly to exclude girls from the children's shooting festival. Güldner describes his anticipation for the upcoming Pentecost celebrations as muffled, since the discussions about sexism within the guild have a stressful effect.Güldner raises the question of how the tradition of the guild can be preserved, while at the same time an open look into the future is being taken. An incident attracted special attention in which a modified "Donaulied" caused excitement on the homepage of the "Blüsen beer club". Despite the existing opinions in the guild, he recognizes the democratic process, but wants a different coordination and firmly believes that the integration of girls would enrich tradition. "It is only a matter of time before girls become part of the children's rifle festival," said Güldner.
new dignitaries and festive events
After the presentation, which took place shortly after midnight on the town hall gallery, followed an extensive tour of the marquee and the town hall. Many active members of the rifle guild had not received much sleep or were consumed "too much schnapps". Manfred Wulf, adjutant of the upper one, commented on the condition of the troops satisfied. Guild general Jens Kuraschinski also emphasized the high number of participants and spectators, which is a strong signal of the connection between the city and guild. District Administrator Christian Pundt was optimistic and emphasized that one does not have to worry about the future of the guild.
social context
The discussion about the role of women and girls in traditional clubs such as the Wildeshauser Schützengilde is part of a larger social discourse that takes place in numerous areas. The challenges and opportunities that arise from the question of equality and participation are of central importance for many organizations. In this context, the Federal Center for Political Education reminds that the step towards more equality and participation is not only a question of justice, but also a necessary further development in society.
It remains to be seen how the debate within the guild will continue and what role the integration of girls will play in the coming years. Every step in this direction could not only enrich the tradition of the guild, but also attract new members and perspectives.
