Our Roots...
Efforts to formalize the Cincinnati/Munich relationship began with a dedicated volunteer effort in 1981 and has developed into a friendship city relationship. On September 18, 1989, the medieval Old City Hall in Munich was the site of the official Munich ceremony, which was the contract signing by Munich Lord Mayor Georg Kronawitter (photo, left), Munich Sister City Association chairwoman Mrs. Auguste Kent (middle) and Cincinnati Mayor Charles Luken (right). The reciprocal Cincinnati signing on June 6, 1990 completed the formalities and began a very promising Sister City relationship between the citizens of Cincinnati and Munich. click for Detailed History of the Association
