September 26, 2007.
“Goodbye and New Beginning” was the headline in Koelnische Rundschau referring to a ceremony at Amerika Haus on September 26 where Consul General Matt Boyse handed over the keys of the building to Lord Mayor Schramma, who in turn passed them on to Jeane von Oppenheim, the chairperson of the Amerika Haus legacy institution. Attended by city contacts, members of the Amerika Haus NRW e.V. and U.S. Consulate staff, this was the final occasion to express the U.S. Embassy’s appreciation to the City for the extraordinary hospitality and support over 52 years and to signal that the legacy institution will continue the transatlantic dialogue on the same premises.
