Malvern Twinned with Mariánske Lázne – 15 April 2013
Malvern Hills
Malcolm Salisbury, Economic
Development Officer of Malvern Hills District Council (one of WelDest’s UK
industry partners), has been working with
both district and town councils to further develop links with the spa town Mariánske
Lázne in the Czech Republic.
This has led to an official
twinning ceremony that took place in Marienbad on Monday 15 April, 2013. It was
held at the local Hotel School and attended by members of the ML City Council
and business leaders. The ML Chamber of Commerce are interested in establishing
trade links with the Malvern area and are planning a visit in July to meet the
Worcestershire and Herefordshire Chamber of Commerce and local companies.
Links have been developed
with Mariánske
Lázne because the town, like Malvern, has a history as a spa
town and has an abundance of curative mineral springs. It is not far from
Graffenberg, where Vincent Priessnitz pioneered hydrotherapy treatments in the
1820s and his example inspired Dr James Wilson to start the Malvern water cure.
