About Indianapolis Sister Cities International
Greetings,
In today’s world economy, it is more critical than ever for Indianapolis to be a city that is globally recognized as a great place to live, work, and raise afamily. Moreover, we must be a city that is welcoming and inclusive to all who make Indianapolis their home.
I’m proud to report that Indianapolis is very connected to the world. Today, we have numerous global connections through our international businesses, foreign students that study in our universities, and our thriving sports and arts communities that bring many visitors from around the globe to our city.
Since I became Mayor, we have doubled the number of Sister Cities. I believe our Sister City partnerships represent one key initiative in our international growth strategy, as they provide natural international connections via cultural, educational and economic ties.

The city is located on both sides of the Rhine River. Cologne is a major cultural centre of the Rhineland and has a vibrant arts scene.

Its current population is approximately one million. It has a long list of attractions, led by its famous Dom (cathedral) whose filigree twin spires dominate the impressive Altstadt (Old Town) skyline.

Cologne Attractions
The Cologne Cathedral Cologne's Gothic Cathedral is one of its top attractions. It took over 600 years to build and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne and the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is a renowned monument of German Catholicism and Gothic architecture and is a World Heritage Site. It is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day.
Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship for the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe".
It is conveniently located right next to the train station. In 2000, the Cathedral treasures were placed in a historic vaulted chamber for public viewing. If you can climb 509 steps you'll get a good view of Cologne on the observation platform. Open 6:00 AM to 7:30 PM for viewing, except during mass. http://www.koelner-dom.de/index.php?id=19167&L=1

Rhine Boat TripsThere are many castles and fortresses along the Rhine River, and lots of day trips and longer excursions are available from Cologne. http://www.cologne-tourism.com/city-experience/city-of-waters/river-rhine-highlights-on-the-water/rhine-river-tours.html
The house of 4711, the Original Eau-de-Cologne Wilhelm Mulhens marketed a concoction called Aqua Mirabilis on the basis of its stimulating and refreshing effect (splash it on or drink it, it didn't matter). It later got to be know as the first Eau de Cologne when French Revolutionary troops sent it home for gifts to the family.Pictured above it, the Glockengasse, in the city center between the cathedral and Neumarkt, opposite the opera house. http://www.4711.com/home+M52087573ab0.html

Language
High German is used as the official language of Germany. Despite this, dialects vary throughout the country.
Kölsch (Colognian) is a very closely related small set of dialects, or variants, of the Ripuarian Central German group of languages. Kölsch is spoken in and partially around Cologne, and Kölsch is one of the very few city dialects in Germany.

Cologne Climate
Cologne is one of the warmest cities in Germany. It has a temperate oceanic climate with relatively mild winters and warm summers. Its average annual temperature is 50ºF: 58ºF during the day and 42 º F at night.
Cologne is regularly affected by flooding from the Rhine and is considered the most flood-prone European city. A city agency manages an extensive flood control system which includes both permanent and mobile flood walls, protection from rising waters for buildings close to the river banks, monitoring and forecasting systems, pumping stations and programs to create or protect
floodplains and river embankments.

2. Cut the onions into slices and fry them together with the bacon in a heavy pan, until the are brown.
3. Mash the potatoes coarsely together with milk, butter and nutmeg.

Cologne Christmas Market
Germany’s reputation for legendary Christmas markets is well deserved – and this is the granddaddy of them all. With the dramatic backdrop of the famed Cologne cathedral, the Medieval Christmas Market is full of handcrafts and live music as well as a breathtaking live nativity for postmodern attention spans.
When: November 21st until December 23rd
What to buy: Räuchermännchen (wooden dolls complete with smoking pipe), nutcrackers, children’s toys, and charity products whose proceeds go to the needy.
Food and drink: Wash down aromatic baked apples and roasted almonds with the traditional, cinnamon-infused glühwein. Plus, an eco-friendly, fair trade ethos means that you can conscientiously indulge in organic treats.
For the children: At the Alter Market you’ll find a child’s winter paradise, complete with a merry-go-round and a puppet theatre. Ice skaters, head to the Heumarkt.

The Karneval season in Germany (also called the "Fifth Season") officially begins on November 11th, at 11:11 a.m. In this magic hour, the "Council of Eleven" comes together to plan the events for the upcoming festivities. The official hats of the councils' members: Colorful fool's caps with little bells.
The actual celebrations of the German Karneval take place 40 days before Easter; they are the last big party before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. The celebrations kick off with "Women’s Karneval" on Thursday before Ash Wednesday. On this day, a lady can kiss any man she likes after cutting off his tie.
The next highlight is Rose Monday: Marching bands, dancers, and floats parade down the streets, throwing confetti, sweets, and toys. The elaborate floats often show caricatured figures mocking politicians and other personalities. Thousands of dressed-up Germans line up the streets every year to watch this spectacle.
On Shrove Tuesday, costume balls are held all over Germany, while Ash Wednesday marks the end of the frenzied fun.

Many German children go on to a Gymnasium (college preparatory high school) from fifth grade until twelfth or thirteenth grade. When students graduate from Gymnasium, they get a diploma called an Abitur and can go on to college.
Other children may go to Realschule (technical academic high school) until the tenth grade. Students who graduate from Realschule after tenth grade can continue to study at a Gymnasium or start to learn a trade.
Another choice is Hauptschule (secondary school), where students study general subjects. Students must attend Hauptschule for at least 5 years.

Typical School Schedule
School in Germany is different from school in America. What Americans know as kindergarten is the same name Germans use for preschool. German school officially begins with first grade, usually at the age of 6. When German students start first grade, they get a large cone called a Schultüte filled with candy and school supplies from their parents. Grundschule (elementary school) goes from first grade until fourth grade. Then, parents and teachers choose one of several types of school for children after elementary school.
