FRIENDS OF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN

ABOUT US

The sister city relationship between Peoria, Illinois, and Friedrichshafen, Germany, began in 1976. While initially based on commerce (due to our Caterpillar connections), personal friendships quickly emerged as the cornerstone of our bond. Through a thousand gatherings. Through the longest-running youth exchange in the U.S. Through personal memories created with new family from another culture. We feel we have achieved President Eisenhower's sister city vision of a network that would be a champion for peace and prosperity by fostering bonds between people from different communities around the world.
