South Tyrolean festival in Waldsee: 60 years of partnership celebrated!

South Tyrolean festival in Waldsee: 60 years of partnership celebrated!

A festive occasion gathered almost 300 citizens and numerous guests of honor in the Waldsee summer festival hall last Saturday to celebrate 60 years of partnership between the Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis and South Tyrol. District Administrator Clemens Körner gave the start with a warm welcome speech and welcomed the many friends from the Vinschgau to accept the invitation. "If this is not a reason to celebrate," he remarked amused and underlined the importance of this long -term relationship.

The connection to South Tyrol, especially the communities of Natural, Schnals, Martell and Silanders, has existed since 1964. These early partnerships were founded at the time before the Rhein-Palatinate district was created at all. Over the years, many friendly contacts and mutual visits have been created, which are not only well maintained by clubs, but also by private individuals.

a varied evening

The entertaining framework of the evening was designed by the music group "Oberwind" from Vinschgau, which delighted the audience with popular sounds. These eight thoroughbred musicians, trained and experienced, provided an appealing sound experience with their live program. Visitors enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere with a good Palatinate food and refreshing drinks made available by the local fire brigade Waldsee.

The celebrations were characterized by a relaxed atmosphere, in contrast to the usual formal events. The organizers have deliberately chosen a different, sociable district reception to present the anniversary celebrations in a festive light. The Pfalzmarkt e.V. supported the event with fresh regional vegetables, which added to the event.

At the anniversary celebration, active and former mayors, as well as MPs of the state parliament and the district council, were also present. The discussions of the visitors were characterized by anticipation on future encounters and other occasions that are to take place in South Tyrol next year. The long-standing partnership between the Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis and South Tyrol remains an important link, so that many of those present hope for a continuation of this friendship.
