German Delegation visiting Pasadena, CA, in the US.
We continue to celebrate our 75-year relationship with Germany as a Sister City.
The City of Pasadena celebrates its 75-year relationship with our Sister City Ludwigshafen.  It’s the longest relationship among all of Pasadena's Sister Cities.  Over the years, our students have enjoyed life-changing experiences through the student exchange program in Germany, and our Pasadena host families have made life-long friendships with the German students they have hosted here.  We look forward to celebrating 100 years and more!  - Victor Gordo, Mayor of Pasadena
