Dear Friends! 

Welcome to the website of the Los Angeles-Berlin Sister City Committee, which brings the worlds of Los Angeles and Berlin together and will provide you with valuable information about our organization.

On June 27, 1967, Berlin became Los Angeles` 6th sister city with the Committee`s mission to advance the relationship in every possible way between the two prominent cities: culturally, intellectually, commercially and socially. Among the primary activities are fundraisers that promote social and cultural exchanges between the two cities, as well as specific exchanges in the field of the arts, music, literature and science.

A myriad of efforts have contributed to a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the citizens of these two great international cities. On October 6, 1990 the Committee dedicated the Berlin Forest in Griffith Park, in the presence of the Mayor of Los Angeles, Tom Bradley, and Governing Mayor of Berlin, Walter Momper. 

The Committee has provided room and board, logistical and financial support (scholarships) for exchange students and professionals from Germany, mostly Berlin. 

The Committee has cooperated with many other German-American organizations and has participated in the 50th Anniversary of the Berlin Airlift in 1998 (Berlin) and 1999 (Los Angeles).
