What a memorable evening, celebrating 40 years of the Deutsch-Irische Gesellschaft (German Irish Society) in Würzburg.

It was a privilege to be part of such a special occasion, bringing together so many past and current members to celebrate four decades of friendship, cultural exchange, and community. The room was filled with great conversation, shared memories, and a real sense of pride in everything that has been achieved.

Thank you to everyone who made the evening so special. Here’s to the next 40 years! 🇮🇪🇩🇪

This morning, our Irish delegation was honoured to receive such a warm welcome at Würzburg City Hall as we celebrated the enduring twinning partnership between County Wicklow and the City of Würzburg.

The heartfelt speeches from both Irish and German representatives were a reminder that twinning is about far more than official visits. It is about building lasting friendships, strengthening communities, and creating opportunities for future generations.

One of the greatest examples of this success is the school exchange programme. Six exchanges have already brought young people from Wicklow and Würzburg together, creating lifelong friendships and a deeper understanding of each other’s cultures. It was particularly encouraging to hear that more schools in Würzburg are now eager to partner with schools in Wicklow.

In today’s world, these connections matter more than ever. Our sincere thanks to the City of Würzburg, Bray Municipal District, Wicklow County Council, and everyone who continues to strengthen this special friendship.

A wonderful evening at the 7th Kilian Lecture as part of the Kiliani Festival celebrating St. Kilian.

This year’s lecture, “Rising to Hope: Catholic Identity and the Courage of Transformation,” was delivered by Dr. Joshua Furnal and formed part of a valued collaboration between Maynooth University and Dublin City University, funded by the Diocese of Würzburg and supported by the Deutsch-Irische Gesellschaft Würzburg.

As was reflected throughout the evening, in today’s world every opportunity to build connections across national borders is to be welcomed. These lectures continue to strengthen the enduring friendship and collaboration between Ireland and Germany.

Thank you to everyone who made the evening such a success.

🟢 Celebrating Remarkable Women Across Europe

Wicklow is proud to be part of the “Courage Can Be Contagious – Remarkable Women in Würzburg and its Sister Cities” exhibition, currently on display in our twin town of Würzburg, Germany.

The exhibition brings together 14 sister cities, each highlighting two remarkable women whose courage, achievements and contributions have left a lasting legacy in their communities.

Wicklow is represented by Elizabeth Le Blond, pioneering mountaineer, photographer and filmmaker, and Emily Wynne, whose work in Irish lace-making, philanthropy and community development continues to inspire.

This exhibition is a wonderful example of the lasting friendship between Wicklow and Würzburg, celebrating our shared history while inspiring future generations through the stories of extraordinary women whose courage helped shape their communities.

Delighted to be able to attend today in the sunshine ☀️
