ST.

"For the past 18 years, this event has been growing into a unique project and a key event in the field of the Russian-German cooperation in the northwest of Russia. This year it will be held from April 22-29 within the framework of the Year of Germany in Russia. Over 50 different events and activities in cultural, scientific, economic, law and civil spheres are planned in a hybrid online-offline format," Stefano Weinberger said at an online event.

A sponsor of the Week of Germany in St. Petersburg is the Free State of Saxony, one of the most longterm partners of St. Petersburg, whose capital Dresden became a sister city of the Russian northern capital after World War II.

"In 2021, we are celebrating 60 years of sister cities' partnership. Therefore, I am especially pleased to welcome Saxony as a general partner of the event," the diplomat noted.

According to the consul, the Week of Germany would include a musical program, a series of dialogues on culture and society known as 'Café D', Science Day, as well as economic events, such as the Technology Forum, the Startup Day and more.

In addition, the German Language Day will be held online for the first time this year.
