We were so honored to join the office of the Stadtpräsidentin at the Kieler Rathaus to welcome a group of travelers from the US! But not just any American tourists, hese were visitors from Kiel, Wisconsin, and its surrounding towns- including Schleswig and New Holstein. 📍🗺
It's probably not surprising to learn that the area in Wisconsin that includes Kiel, Schleswig, and New Holstein was settled by German immigrants from Schleswig-Holstein- some of these immigrants being the ancestors of the visitors we welcomed on Monday!
The AGSH has been working to revive the relationship between our two Kiels, and welcoming these lovely travelers was a great stepping stone on the way to friendship! While this is the first time that this generation of the AGSH has gotten to welcome these Kielers from across the Atlantic, we are sure it won't be the last!
