In 1838 the first state train from Germany was given to circulation, on the line between Braunschweig and Wolfenbüttel. In 1609 appeared “Aviso” the first newspaper in German. During centuries, around the castle from the old city centre has developed a renascent city of a beauty that is appreciated by the tourists even today. The city is proud of almost 600 buildings constructed between the XVI-th and the XVIII-th century from beams and half –timber/brick – most of them restaurants. From 1602, in one of these historical buildings is the City Hall Headquarters, in a square in which from 1570 is hold the weekly fair.

The gardens were replaced with modern dwelling assemblies. We have to remark that in the city activate 47 sports associations with 17.732 members, which means 32,5 % of the population. The fraternity between Satu Mare and Wolfenbüttel was born after the catastrophic floods from 14th of May 1970, when this German city helped the disaster victims from Satu Mare, sending urgently more transports with blankets, textiles, shoes, food and medicine and other goods too. As a result of this humanitarian action, which continued in the following years, the _____________________________________________________________________________ www.satu-mare.ro Satu Mare City Hall 2005 Pag.6 ______________________________________________________________________ Fraternity Protocol was signed in the Spring of 1974 (31 May 1974) by the mayor Friedrich Ehrhoff, and his colleague, his homologue from Satu Mare, Vasile Gîta together with the secretaries of the two cities Wolfgang Wessel and dr.
