Stader Delegation discovers the potential of the city partnership with Karlshamn

The response to the city partnership between Stade and the Swedish city of Karlshamn once again shows itself in the recent visits to both delegations. The exchange between the cities is of particular importance in times of global crises, since it strengthens not only the geographical but also human connections.

a sign of friendship from Karlshamn

During her visit to Karlshamn, the Stader Delegation received a very special gift from Magnus Gärdebring, the chairman of the municipal board. An artistically edited granite stone served as a symbol for the existing friendship between the cities. Gärdebring described the stone as "light in the dark", which should offer orientation and strength. Such symbols are more than just gestures in times of crisis - they are a visible sign of solidarity and cooperation.

networking and exchange in the twin city

The Stader Delegation, under the direction of Mayor Sönke Hatlef and other representatives, such as the deputy mayor Christoph von Schas, had the opportunity to become active in Karlshamn. With the exchange with companies and associations, the delegation participants had the opportunity to establish valuable contacts that could strengthen the economic strength of both cities in the long term. Matthias Bunzel, who is responsible for business development, was particularly able to benefit here and establish important connections.

Planning for the future

A central goal of the talks was to involve the citizens of both cities closer to the city twinning. Sönke Hatlef and Magnus Gärdebring in particular emphasized how important personal exchange is in order to promote understanding and cooperation between the cities. The question of how the citizens of Stade and Karlshamn can benefit more from the partnership is in the focus.

an example of international cooperation

This initiative shows a clear trend towards revival and strengthening international relationships. In addition to the individual relationships between cities, the partnership represents a model of how cities can strengthen their resilience in times of crisis through joint activities and exchange. Personal contact and cooperation open up new perspectives and opportunities for development and growth.

In view of the global challenges, it is crucial to maintain and expand friendship between cities. The positive experiences from Karlshamn could thus serve as a catalyst for further international collaborations and be an example of other cities.
