The Association of Sister Cities Salzburg - Singida

History:

Salzburg´s city council decided to found a city partnership with León (Nicaragua) an Singida (Tanzania) in June 1984.
In 1986 the official inauguration of the "Association city partnerships of Salzburg with cities and communities in the Third World" occured in Salzburg’s Castle of Mirabell. The mayors of all three cities attended this event. Duties and responsibilities expanded largely so that the partnerships were splitted into two separat associations in 2003.

One of the important founders of Sister Cities Salzburg – Singida was the famous painter from Salzburg Professor Wilhelm Kaufmann. His daughter Eva Schröcksnadel "Mama Eva" stood for power and soul in the Sister Cieties until her death in 2004.
