Geschwister Scholl Schule students and teachers were welcomed by the Mayor of Richmond as they took part in their annual exchange with Teddington School.

Around 80 children from the Konstanz school were in the borough, as were pupils from the Ellenrieder Gymnasium in Konstanz who were also here for their annual exchange with Hampton and Lady Eleanor Holles Schools.

The Mayor was in Konstanz herself earlier this summer to christen the new car ferry across Lake Constance, 'Richmond.'
