Since April 1, creative statements on the personal significance of Europe can be submitted on the website of the City of Wiesbaden (opens in a new tab).

Maral Koohestanian, Head of European Affairs, adds: "I am already looking forward to many exciting submissions! Each and every one of us experiences Europe in our own way. With this competition, we want to make precisely these different perspectives visible and show how valuable a European identity can be for all of us."

Background:

On March 17, Lord Mayor Gert-Uwe Mende, Head of European Affairs Maral Koohestanian and Head of Transport Andreas Kowol unveiled the new "European City" signs, thus sending a clear signal of the European commitment of the state capital of Wiesbaden. The signs now greet citizens and visitors at 29 entrances to the city.
