Since 1979, Europe-wide Neustadts have been cultivating a fine tradition: the Neustadt meeting, which brings together around 1000 Neustadters every year. To enable an exchange throughout the year, Neustadt in Holstein has come up with something: the Neustadt pen pal.

The campaign has recently started and the first mailings have already set out from Neustadt in Holstein to bring warm greetings from the Baltic Sea to other Neustadts nationwide. This is the beginning of a personal exchange in which the friendship between the cities is to be deepened from person to person.

All residents of Neustadt can participate in a uncomplicated way. On the website of the Tourism Agency Lübeck Bay (TALB), there is a registration form. This is filled out online and sent. Subsequently, the participant automatically receives an e-mail from the TALB, which contains the address of a pen pal. Then you are ready to go.

Anyone who would like to participate in the nationwide Neustadt Pen Pal can find all the necessary information, a contact for any queries and the registration form at the following online link.
