We are still accepting submissions for our upcoming oral history project with St. Louis-Stuttgart Sister Cities and the City of Stuttgart, Germany.
This project aims to collect oral histories from Germans and Missourians alike with connection to St. Louis’s German sister city, Stuttgart. This includes (but is not limited to) people who have immigrated from Stuttgart, St. Louisans/Missourians who have visited Stuttgart, and members of the military who perhaps were stationed there.
If you have a connection to Stuttgart and wish to tell your story,
we’d love to hear from you!
