In 1987 the first institutionalized conference for German/Russian twin-cities was organized in Saarbrücken/West Germany and followed in 1989 by Almaty - at that time still part of USSR, today Kazakhstan. For Prof.Dr.B.Hallier these meetings of administrations and civil society are excellent platforms to deescalate potential conflicts between East and West and to create new cultural partnerships.
For the third time a special Youth Forum is added to the Twin City Conference this time hosted from June 21st till 28th 2019 in the Düren Region, which is located between the cities of Aachen and Cologne.
