Een jonge smidsknecht genaamd <strong>Joseph Schlepen<\/strong> (uit de Borner Heide) had zich vrijwillig aangemeld om het afvuren van de b\u00f6llers op zich te nemen. Tijdens de feeststoet door Vaals vond echter het ongeluk plaats: hij schoot de duim van zijn rechterhand eraf. Joseph Schlepen overleed korte tijd later in het ziekenhuis in Aken aan de gevolgen van deze verwonding. De vereniging toonde zich solidair en stuurde de nabestaande ouders een bedrag van ongeveer <strong>90 Mark<\/strong>, dat grotendeels was ingezameld via een benefietconcert.<\/p>\n<h3>Verloop van de festiviteiten<\/h3>\n<p>Ondanks het ongeluk was het feest een groot internationaal evenement:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deelnemers:<\/strong> In totaal namen <strong>16 zang- en muziekverenigingen<\/strong> deel. Opvallend is dat slechts vijf van deze verenigingen harmonie\u00ebn waren; de meerderheid bestond uit zangverenigingen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zondag 4 juli:<\/strong> De dag begon met de ontvangst van de buitenlandse verenigingen, aan wie een \u201eEhrenwein\u201c werd geschonken (de kosten voor de wijn bedroegen in totaal 80 Francs). Om 14:00 uur begon de feeststoet, gevolgd door uitvoeringen op de feestweide in de Tentstraat. De avond eindigde met een groot <strong>vuurwerk<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maandag 5 juli:<\/strong> De festiviteiten werden voortgezet met een matinee, een nieuwe optocht en een concert, waarbij ook <strong>turndemonstraties<\/strong> van de Vaalser sportverenigingen plaatsvonden. De afsluiting bestond wederom uit vuurwerk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Bijzondere herinneringsstukken<\/h3>\n<p>Als blijk van waardering voor de deelname liet de vereniging bij een juwelier in <strong>Maastricht herinneringsmedailles<\/strong> maken. Deze kostten 2,50 Nederlandse gulden per stuk en werden na hun optreden feestelijk aan de deelnemende verenigingen uitgereikt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De viering van het 50-jarig jubileum op 4 en 5 [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1688,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[71,34],"portfolio_skills":[],"portfolio_tags":[],"class_list":["post-5089","avada_portfolio","type-avada_portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-anekdotes","portfolio_category-kroniek"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tragisch ongeluk bij 50-jarig jubileum - Kon. harmonie St. Cecilia 1836 Vaals<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/harmonie-vaals.nl\/blog\/Portfolio\/tragisch-ongeluk-bij-50-jarig-jubileum\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"nl_NL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tragisch ongeluk bij 50-jarig jubileum - Kon. harmonie St. Cecilia 1836 Vaals\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"De viering van het 50-jarig jubileum op 4 en 5 [...]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/harmonie-vaals.nl\/blog\/Portfolio\/tragisch-ongeluk-bij-50-jarig-jubileum\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Kon. harmonie St. Cecilia 1836 Vaals\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DeMoeziek\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-06-25T14:58:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/harmonie-vaals.nl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/harmonie1900groot-1024x741.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"741\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Geschatte leestijd\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/Portfolio\\\/tragisch-ongeluk-bij-50-jarig-jubileum\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/Portfolio\\\/tragisch-ongeluk-bij-50-jarig-jubileum\\\/\",\"name\":\"Tragisch ongeluk bij 50-jarig jubileum - Kon. harmonie St. Cecilia 1836 Vaals\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/Portfolio\\\/tragisch-ongeluk-bij-50-jarig-jubileum\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/Portfolio\\\/tragisch-ongeluk-bij-50-jarig-jubileum\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/harmonie1900groot.png\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-06-25T11:42:34+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-06-25T14:58:28+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/Portfolio\\\/tragisch-ongeluk-bij-50-jarig-jubileum\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"nl-NL\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/Portfolio\\\/tragisch-ongeluk-bij-50-jarig-jubileum\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"nl-NL\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/Portfolio\\\/tragisch-ongeluk-bij-50-jarig-jubileum\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/harmonie1900groot.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/harmonie1900groot.png\",\"width\":2000,\"height\":1447},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/Portfolio\\\/tragisch-ongeluk-bij-50-jarig-jubileum\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Portfolio\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/Portfolio\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Tragisch ongeluk bij 50-jarig jubileum\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/harmonie-vaals.nl\\\/blog\\\/\",\"name\":\"Kon. harmonie St. Cecilia 1836 Vaals\",\"description\":\"De Moeziek.
