Walter Marshall and Dr Anulf Klett
In 1948 the Mayor of St.Helens, Alderman Walter Marshall, was the first British civic leader to visit the city of Stuttgart which lay in ruins in the post-war years. During his visit, he and Stuttgart’s Mayor Dr Arnulf Klett agreed on establishing closer links laying the foundation for the first of ten twinning schemes and for a lasting friendship.
