". . . 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, zero. All engines running. Liftoff!" We have a liftoff to Houston Week 2018! This year, we commemorate 25 years of creative collaboration. Land in Leipzig this October for a full week of artistic, literary, athletic, and educational events centered on the themes of Houston and German-American relations.
Launched in 1993, the official partnership with Houston, a large urban, economic center in the United States, is of historic importance. The partnership’s inception took place in the aftermath of the Peaceful Revolution and German Reunification when Leipzig first began to expand sister city relations to the Western hemisphere. Private citizens on both sides of the Atlantic tread new ground as they initiated the Leipzig-Houston campaign. To this day, the cities continue to promote strong transatlantic bonds through diverse business, cultural, professional, and academic exchanges.
