Brighouse Ludenscheid Society

The link between Brighouse and Lüdenscheid was founded as long as 1950 by the Brighouse Children's Theatre which exchanged visits with a similar group in Lüdenscheid. Sporadic exchanges over the next few years led to the formation in 1962 of the Twin-Link Societies (The Brighouse - Lüdenscheid Society in Brighouse and the Lüdenscheid - Brighouse Gesellschaft in Lüdenscheid).

The link was strengthened by the civic twinning charter which was signed in 1960. Since then, Brighouse has become part of Calderdale, and Lüdenscheid the capital town of the Markischer Kreis. The civic charter between Calderdale and Lüdenscheid was signed in 1983. Enthusiasm by civic dignitaries for the working of the link over recent years has been responsible for the present warm civic relationship.

Brighouse Lüdenscheid Society has the aim to develop friendship, understanding and cultural awareness between people in Brighouse and Lüdenscheid. Annual visits to and from our host families in Lüdenscheid are supported by quarterly meetings and fundraising social events.
