60th anniversary of Charles de Gaulle speech in Ludwigsburg

60th anniversary of Charles de Gaulle speech in Ludwigsburg

On September 9th, 1962, Charles de Gaulle gave his speech on reconciliation between France and Germany in the courtyard of the Residenzschloss in Ludwigsburg. 

Ludwigsburg is celebrating the 60th anniversary of this memorable day from May to December with the programme series "On to Europe".

In this context, we would like to recall the 50th anniversary of this event, which was also celebrated in Ludwigsburg, in the presence of the French President François Hollande and the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Dr Angela Merkel.

Following the celebrations, we had the honour of hosting the guests at the Hotel Adler.
