History
It all started with the school exchange between the grammar school 'Freiherr-vom-Stein Gymnasium' and the 'Collège Saint-Laurent' in 2011. The idea of town twinning resulted from this exchange and after getting to know each other and visiting the cities a couple of times, the town twinnng was made official by the mayors Martin Voigt and Jean-Michel Buf signing the partnership contract in Blain. Both cities want to vouch for the European idea with being twin towns Beide Städte möchten mit der Partnerschaft für die europäische Idee einstehen. Because of that the encounters between the citizens from Germany and France have an high value.
