Peter-Olaf Hoffmann from Dormagen is organising a large pilgrimage to Rome for the European shooters in the Holy Year. Anyone who would like to join should register quickly. Pilgrims from other religions and queer people are also welcome in the European shooters’ community.

The delegation from Dormagen and Korschenbroich is impressed, but also disappointed: The preparatory meeting with the former mayor of Dormagen and General Secretary of the European community of historic guilds (EGS), Peter-Olaf Hoffmann, and EGS Vice President Horst Thoren from Korschenbroich took place in Rome. They were joined by 500 musicians from Bavaria and Austria, some of whom will also be playing at next year’s pilgrimage.
