Regensburg and Aberdeen mark 70 years of cultural and economic partnership in 2025
Regensburg and Aberdeen, twin cities since 1955, are celebrating their 70th anniversary in 2025. Their partnership has flourished with cultural exchanges, educational collaborations, and now, economic ties in hydrogen technology. An official delegation from Aberdeen is set to attend a ceremony in Regensburg's Old Town Hall on June 13, 2025.
The partnership's cultural exchange is evident in Regensburg's 'RE.LIGHT International Light Art Festival', inspired by Aberdeen's 'SPECTRA'. This inspiration has led to school projects, cultural and sporting activities, and youth association cooperation. A notable outcome is a book sharing post-war experiences, written jointly by students from Robert Gordon's College and St Margaret's School for Girls in Aberdeen, and Regensburg's schools under the Regensburger-Kumpfmühl History and Culture Association.
The universities and adult education centers in both cities have fostered close relationships. Economic ties have also strengthened, with new contacts established in the field of hydrogen technology. The next 'RE.LIGHT International Light Art Festival Regensburg' is scheduled for 2026.
Regensburg and Aberdeen's 70-year partnership continues to thrive, with cultural, educational, and now economic collaborations. The upcoming anniversary celebration in Regensburg and the official delegation's visit promise to further strengthen this long-standing bond.
