Roselle Sister Cities German Committee

In 2019 the German Committee was formed. The goal was to establish a Sister City by 2022 to coincide with the Roselle Centennial Celebration due to Roselle being founded by German Americans and German immigrants. On October 7, 2021, the committee became Friendship Cities with Laatzen International Friendship in Laatzen, Germany. A delegation from Laatzen visited Roselle in October 2022 and the friendship with Laatzen was deepened as we work toward becoming Sister Cities. Visit our Facebook event page or the website Events page for details.

Our Committee presently meets at the Roselle Village Hall on the 2nd Saturday of every month at 9:00 – 10:30 A.M. We meet monthly via video conference with our friends in Laatzen, Germany, immediately following our monthly meetings.

We hold a Stammtisch or “regulars table” a few times a year. It is an opportunity to learn more about our Friendship City, talk about German heritage, speak some German if you’d like, enjoy a beverage and some fun conversation. Join us!

(location changes – check our Facebook Page for more details).

If you would like to volunteer for upcoming events or sponsor our Committee, please email us at rscagerman@gmail.com for more information.
