Living memories and evidence of times gone by
Today's "Mitenand" between the sister towns of Rheinfelden (Switzerland and Baden) was not always a matter of course in the 20th century. After economic cooperation had already become more difficult in the interwar period and the subsequent break due to the closed borders during and after the Second World War, the two Rheinfelden towns cautiously moved closer together again from the 1950s onwards.

Together we will look back on these exciting years and shed light on cross-border political, economic and social cooperation.
Come along and share your memories with us.
We will be joined by Béa Bieber, Rolf Brugger, Klaus Heilmann, Heidi Leemann and Eberhardt Niethammer as well as Lotti Berner as moderator.

Followed by an aperitif.
An event organized in cooperation with the Cultural Office Rheinfelden (Baden)
