Wiener Neustadt: Partnerships for a strong, European coexistence

Wiener Neustadt plans a new city partnership with the Croatian city of Čakovec. Rainer Spenger, the city manager for international relationships, explained the importance of these initiatives and looked back on the city's existing partnerships.

urban friends are of great importance for mutual understanding between different cultures. Wiener Neustadt can look at a long tradition in European cooperation that began in 1975 when the city received the title "European City". This award recognizes the efforts of a united Europe and the positive effects of cross -border cooperation.

experiences from partner cities

Spenger reported that he most often visited the city of Monheim am Rhein, which has been maintaining a close partnership with Wiener Neustadt since 1971. The traditional carnival in Monheim in particular is an experience that you should definitely experience. The variety and cultural differences that can be experienced by such visits contribute to strengthening friendships. During the term of office of Mayor Bernhard Müller there were some successful cooperation in the education and cultural sector as well as in the economic sector that underline the benefits of such partnerships.

Another point on Spengers agenda is the reactivation of urban friends with Soprone in Hungary. These relationships have moved somewhat into the background in recent years, but Spenger is optimistic that the geographical proximity in particular makes a revival make sense. He has planned this for the upcoming legislative period.

The new and planned exchange with Čakovec, which is to be officially sealed in the first quarter of 2025, shows that Wiener Neustadt wants to continue to promote international cooperation. Such a partnership not only opens up the possibility of cultural exchange, but can also bring economic advantages that benefit the region.

Spenger emphasizes that city twinning should not only consist of visits, but also have to have specific projects and cooperation in order to generate long -term advantages for everyone involved.
