Sister cities
Town twinning, also known as sister cities, is a concept whereby towns or cities in geographically and politically distinct areas are paired, with the goal of fostering human contact and cultural links between their inhabitants. In the European Union, such pairs of towns are known as friendship towns, partner towns or twin towns. In North America, India, Australasia and Asia, the term sister cities is used for the same concept and brother cities is the term in the former Soviet bloc. Sister cities often (though by no means always) have similar demographic and other characteristics.
Gyomaendrőd’s brother cities are Nagyenyed (Aiud) in Romania, Schöneck in Germany Pilzno in Poland and Slovakia Ruttka (Vrútky).
Schöneck
Oraşul german a fost înfiinţat cu ocazia unirii a trei localitãţi mai mici in anul 1971. Aceste trei localitãţi sunt Kilianstädten, Büdesheim şi Oberdorfelden, care dispun cu o isterie veche de o mie de ani. Tratativul de înfrãţire a fost semnat in anul 2003 pe data de 23 Octombrie de primarii Ludger Stüve si Dr. Dávid Imre.
