65th Anniversary Gala

Please join us!

St. Louis-Stuttgart (Germany) Sister Cities (SLSSC) will celebrate 65 years of a transatlantic alliance at a November 14, 2025, anniversary Gala at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac Hotel. SLSSC is the oldest sister city organization in St. Louis and one of the first German-American sister city partnerships after World War II.

This Gala also celebrates the conclusion of more than 20 years of dedicated volunteer service by Susanne Evens as President of SLSSC, as she transitions this leadership role over to Robert (Bob) Case.

Event sponsors:

Attending will be Stuttgart’s Deputy Mayor Dr. Clemens Maier, who directs the department of Regulations, Security and Sports. His delegation and representatives of Stuttgart’s Sister Cities department will be honored guests at the Gala.

The black tie optional Gala features an authentic German dinner and cash bar (menu details at bottom of this page). Join in the fun and experience the kick-off of the German carnival season. Other entertainment includes acrobatics by St. Louis’ own Circus Harmony, the band Übercool, a musical presentation by the Lindbergh High School Strolling Strings, performances of German ethnic dancing, and many exciting surprises.

St. Louis - Stuttgart Sister Cities is a 501(c)(3) organization whose primary mission is to generate public support for cultural, business and student exchanges between St. Louis, Missouri and Stuttgart, Germany.
