Vancouver, February 15, 2025 - Nördlingen, a charming town in Bavaria, Germany, is known for its rich history, stunning medieval architecture, and unique circular layout, which is the result of its location within a preserved impact crater. This picturesque town has formed meaningful connections with various cities around the world, including its sister city, Markham in Canada.

Markham, located in the Greater Toronto Area, is a vibrant and diverse city, recognized for its rapid growth and dynamic economy. The sister city relationship between Nördlingen and Markham was established in 2004, aiming to foster cultural exchange, promote understanding, and build lasting friendships between the two communities. This partnership has allowed residents and businesses to engage in various collaborative projects, including educational exchanges and cultural events, showcasing the heritage and traditions of both cities.

The ties between Nördlingen and Markham go beyond mere surface connections. Both towns boast rich histories and a shared commitment to preserving their unique cultural identities. While Nördlingen continues to attract visitors with its centuries-old buildings and historical events, Markham embraces modernity while celebrating its heritage through various festivals and multicultural events.

In addition to its partnership with Markham, Nördlingen is twinned with Wagga Wagga in Australia, Riom in France, and Olomouc in the Czech Republic. These connections further enhance its global network, allowing for vibrant international dialogue and collaboration.

Some well-known footballers are from Nördlingeners: Gerd Müller, Michael Lutz, Stefan Riess and Stefan Lang. Sabina Haubitz was an art photographer and Frank Kechele was a racing driver.
