Now accepting applications for the 2026 Youth Exchange Program in Groß-Bieberau, Germany!
Since 2001, we have given local high school students the chance to live abroad, host German partners in their home, and experience everyday life and culture in Groß-Bieberau, Germany. The program builds friendships, broadens perspectives, and strengthens ties between the two communities.
2026 Dates
June 19 – July 17, 2026: Millstadt students in Germany
July 17 – August 14, 2026: German students in Millstadt
The Millstadt Sister Cities Organization promotes friendship and cultural exchange between Millstadt, Illinois, and Groß-Bieberau, Germany.
The typical travel route for our organization starts with a 9-hour flight from St. Louis, Missouri to Frankfurt, Germany. From Frankfurt, we take an hour long ride to Groß-Bieberau.
