Twin Town: Norden
.
Norden is a town on the North Sea coast of Ostfriesland, Niedersachsen, Germany, on low land near the Dutch border. Its port was once important in foreign trading and still supports a fishing fleet and ferries to the Frisian islands. It had a population of 25,019 at the end of 2011.
Norden and Bradford became twinned in 1969 through connections between the two towns’ rowing and canoe clubs which began in 1967.
For more about Norden, see the Wikipedia page (in English), but the German Wikipedia version gives much more information. There is also a page in Frysk (Frisian), the language of Friesland. All open in new tabs.
Bradford on Avon Museum has a few items that relate to Norden and the Bradford-Norden twinning, including the framed arms of Ostfriesland that was presented by a visiting football team from Norden.
