Our story is the story of a friendship. A friendship spanning 340 years.
From creating a common heritage when the first German settlers from Krefeld reached Philadelphia in 1683 to the experience of the terrors of war: We have been through a lot together. We found remarkable ways to overcome even the most difficult of challenges. Over centuries, we have built a true friendship that stands the test of time. Today, our relationship is shaped more than ever by trust, a sense of community, and common interests, underpinned by our belief in democracy, freedom, and human dignity.
With the NRW-USA Year we will strengthen our bond, empower our people, and create a shared future. Let us celebrate, let us create new opportunities! Let us write a new chapter together. Come join us!
