Selected Events 2005

December 3, 2005.
Munich Consul General Matthew M. Rooney accepts the Meistertrunk from the Kellermeister of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. The master draught recalls the dramatic event from the Thirty Years' War when the city of Rothenburg was saved from destruction in 1631. Mr. Rooney was in Rothenburg to mark the founding of the German-American Society of Middle West Franconia. This new group, based in Ansbach, intends to intensify the German-American dialogue in Franconia and engage in political, economic and cultural exchanges. Consul General Rooney also met with the Lord Mayor of Rothenburg and made remarks to the founding members of the German-American society.
