Located on the northeast of Santa Catarina, in the Itajaí Valley, Blumenau is known in Brazil as one of the cities with greater German influence over its culture and history. Therefore, the following question guides this essay: how did German immigrants use shooting clubs as a means for the emergence of a physical culture in the city? The analyses point to the centrality of the Schützenvereine as important spaces to develop and cultivate traditions and bodily practices brought from the old continent as well as to establish important devices for consolidation of a physical culture by part of Blumenau’s residents.
