On June 22, 2006, a city partnership was established between the city of St. Cloud, Minnesota and the city of Spalt, Bavaria. The aim of the partnership is to develop and deepen the connection and friendship between the two cities and to establish an international connection. In addition, a variety of educational, cultural and economic developments and opportunities are to be developed between the two cities.

Both cities are meant to support each other in organizing and developing activities for the partnership relationship.

In the meantime, there have been visits between the cities every year, among others the city of Spalt with the Spalt town band in St. Cloud.
