Kiel
- Kaliningrad: the
twin-city partnership
The
partnership agreement between the cities of Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg)
and Kiel was signed on 18 June 1992. Before this, there had already been good
relations between the two cities, which were extensively promoted by the Land
Schleswig-Holstein.
Since the agreement was signed, delegations have regularly visited the twin
cities, for example, for discussions about commercial and social collaboration,
for discussions between experts in a very wide variety of spheres, for seminars
and festival events, or – as in 1996 – to the installment of the first democratically-elected
Lord Mayor of Kaliningrad.
In almost every field imaginable, many authorities and institutions, organisations
of every kind, companies and corporations, cultural and social establishments,
associations and clubs have been actively involved in shaping the twin-city
partnership.
