Lincoln's twin towns
|

 |
|||
| Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, Germany
Neustadt lies in the heart of the Palatinate region of Germany and literally translated means ‘New Town on the Wine Street’. It is an historic town with beautiful historical buildings and is Germany’s largest wine-growing community. Neustadt, and its nine adjoining villages, is surrounded by beautiful vineyards and countryside. The twinning relationship with Lincoln was formed in 1969 and is one of the oldest, strongest and most successful in the Country. The most important feature of the partnership, however, is the personal exchanges between the citizens of Lincoln and Neustadt and the understanding and friendship which this creates. |

| Port Lincoln,
Australia Port Lincoln, Australia is situated at the tip of the Eyre Peninsula, Southern Australia and was discovered in 1892 by the famous British Sea Dog, Captain Matthew Flinders.

| Tangshan, China
The City of Tangshan, in the Republic of China, has a population of some 1.4 million and lies 100 miles south-east of the Chinese capital of Beijing. Lincoln accepted an invitation to establish links with Tangshan in the Republic of China, following an industrial breakthrough by one of Lincoln’s largest companies, in 1988. A Twinning Agreement was then signed in 1988, during a visit by a Chinese delegation. |
