Wiesbaden and Fatih Celebrate Over a Decade of City Partnership

In 2012, the city of Wiesbaden, Germany, and Fatih, a district on the European side of Istanbul, forged a city partnership that has thrived for over ten years. This partnership has led to the establishment of a partnership association, fostering cultural, educational, and economic ties between the twin cities.

Since August 2024, Nagihan İlknur Akdevelioğlu has been the Consul General of Turkey in Frankfurt, a role that did not have an explicitly mentioned successor as of the same date in the available search results. Akdevelioğlu, born in Bursa in 1978, holds a master's degree in European studies from Boğaziçi University and has been working for the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 2006. Prior to her diplomatic career, she began her professional journey in 2002 at the supervisory authority of a private bank.

The city partnership has resulted in numerous study and educational trips between the twin cities, with over 16,000 Wiesbaden residents having Turkish roots. The exchange extends beyond academia, with an intensive exchange of schools taking place between the cities. Discussions also took place about German-Turkish economic relations, further strengthening the bond between the cities.

The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden, located at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden, serves as a central point of contact for any questions or inquiries related to the city partnership. The office's website can be found online, providing up-to-date information on partnership activities and events.

The conversation between the representatives of the cities serves to maintain good relations and promote mutual understanding. As the partnership continues to flourish, the twin cities look forward to a future filled with cultural exchange, educational opportunities, and economic growth.
