European beech as a symbol: 50 years of friendship between Mundelsheim and La Motte-Servolex!
On June 2, 2025, Mundelsheim and La Motte-Servolex will celebrate the 50th anniversary of their town partnership. The celebrations, which gathered more than 100 guests, also included the mayors Boris Seitz from Mundelsheim and Luc Berthoud from La Motte-Servolex. The atmosphere was one of joy and connection. A central symbol of this long-standing friendship is a European beech tree, which was planted as part of the celebrations. European beeches are known for their robustness and can live for several hundred years if well cared for. This tree planting took place in Mundelsheim and underlines the deep connection between the two communities. Stuttgarter Nachrichten reports that the European beech is a tangible sign of the stability of the partnership.
The town twinning between Mundelsheim and La Motte-Servolex is not just a formal agreement, but a living sign of community and hospitality. Mundelsheim citizens are actively involved as host families and in various events that promote exchange and getting to know each other. The anniversary will be honored with special celebrations in both cities. Extensive activities are already planned in La Motte-Servolex for 2024, while the big anniversary celebration in Mundelsheim will take place from May 29th to June 1st, 2025, as also mentioned on the website of the municipality of Mundelsheim mentioned.
