On Easter 1967, 50 years ago this coming Sunday, the Epinay Square was named after Oberursel’s French partner town, Epinay-sur-Seine. The city partnership between these two cities was barely three years old at that time. Idealism and euphoria of the early years, as well as its humble beginnings at that time, became the foundation for a long-lasting friendship between the two cities.
The 50-year-old place jubilee of the Epinay Square will be held:
Saturday, March 25, 2017, 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
The city partnership with Epinay-sur-Seine has been successful and is Oberursel’s oldest sister city. After many years, this alliance is still very active in arranging visits and joint projects.
In the face of current events and debates about Europe, this event is not run in the form of a regular festival, but is more a rally with speeches, stands, and music. These days, Europe is at a crossroads, and alliances need strengthening.
The rally is organized by the City of Oberursel and the Europa-Union Hochtaunuskreis e.V.
