The Mark Twain Center for Transatlantic Relations in Heidelberg’s Südstadt district is currently developing a multimedia exhibition on German-American relations.
Based in a location of historic significance, the Center’s mission is to combine living memory with academic research and culture.
The focus of the Mark Twain Center for Transatlantic Relations (MTC) is the shared history of the German and American people. The Center aims to bring together cultural and academic perspectives and to promote discussion of important issues for the future of German-American relations.
