With a jubilee visit

Today, the visit of a delegation from Hamm begins, with which Kalisz signed a partnership agreement 30 years ago. The delegation consists of mayor Marc Herter, councilors and representatives of two associations: the International Club Hamm and the re Kulturbrücke.

They started their stay in our city with a visit to the town hall and meeting with the city authorities. They discussed the cooperation so far and their plans for the coming years with the mazor Krystian Kinastowski and deputz mayor Grzegorz Kulawinek.

In the A. Asnyk 1st High School the delegation took part in the oath of the first grades. Then, at the Nights and Days Fountain, an exhibition of Hamm's bird's-eye views by Hans Blossey - pilot and photographer, was opened. After the exhibition, the guests will visit the city in a historic bus, and will also take part in the ceremony of awarding the flag of the State Fire Service at the Main Market Square. They will also participate in the solemn session of the City Council.

On Saturday, September 11th, in the Friendship Park, a tree will be planted in the path leading to the right of the park entrance, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the cooperation, and a bench sponsored by Marlene and Wolfgang Rometsch from Hamm will be presented. Later, a concert of students will take place at the State Music School, referring to the partnership of our cities and cooperation of music schools, and in the afternoon the delegation will be able to participate in the celebration of the Days of the Duchy of Kalisz.
