Wolfsburg, Germany, home of Volkswagen Group, was named a Sister City to Chattanooga on Monday morning.
Chattanooga now has six sister cities. Wolfsburg is the first addition since Gangneung, South Korea, was added in the 1990s.
“Thank you for your wonderful feeling of friendship,” Lord Mayor Rolf Schnellecke, of Wolfsburg, told a crowd in Chattanooga City Hall.
Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield and Schnellecke signed documents Monday solidifying the Sister City designation. Later, delegates from Chattanooga and Wolfsburg planted a sixth tree in the Peace Garden at Coolidge Park, where other sister cities representatives have trees planted in their honor.
