Connecting the Residents of Columbus, Ohio, and Dresden, Germany

Dresden Sister City programming is focused on two goals.  

First, we connect the people of Columbus and Dresden through sports, art and educational programs.   

Second, we create opportunities for Columbus residents to gather and explore their shared interest in German culture, language and history. 

Who can join? Anyone interested in learning about the city of Dresden, celebrating their German ancestry, meeting new people and promoting Columbus to the world.
