Honorary member, co-signer and co-founder of the Leipzig-Houston sister city agreement, Friedrich Magirius, has been awarded the honorary citizenship of the City of Leipzig. Mayor of Leipzig Burkhard Jung praised Mr. Magirius’ work as “reverend, teacher, minister, superintendent, politician and bridge builder (…)”.
91 year old Friedrich Magirius was born in Dresden, studied theology, served city President and played a central role during the Peaceful Revolution. His public support helped the sister city ties between #leipzig and #houston grow from thin bands into a strong network of friendship and support over the Atlantic.
Many political, cultural and personal companions joined the ceremony. Congratulations, Mr. Magirius!![]()
