Municipal partnerships between German and American cities and communities, as well as programs to promote personal contact between Germans and Americans, are an important part of the transatlantic relationship. In the Frankfurt Consular District, many of these programs began right after the Second World War. Several have already celebrated their 60th anniversaries, for example Crailsheim/Worthington, MN (2007) and Ludwigshafen/Pasadena, CA (2008). The partnership agreements on the state and local levels continue to grow: In 2007, the Main-Taunus-Kreis and Loudoun County, VA, signed a partnership agreement.

The Cultural Affairs Section of the US General Consulate assists in the support of existing partnerships and future initiatives. Information and selected websites (selected links, working materials, forms, sample letters etc.) on sister cities are available on the U.S. Embassy website on Sister Cities
