Oberburgermeister Hans Schaidinger has been a friend of Tempe Sister Cities for 16 years, hosting elaborate receptions for the delegations that visit Regensburg time and time again. He was honored as the Oktoberfest King, and this year he will tap the keg to begin Oktoberfest 2011.
Tempe and Regensburg have a very special relationship with many life-long friendships that continue to develop with each student, teacher and professional exchange that occur. Mayor Schaidinger always welcomes visitors with great hospitality and enthusiasm. The Ring of Honor Ceremony will be the evening of Wednesday, October 5th, 2011 in the Sister City Garden at Kiwanis Park.
