Last month I wondered why a small village in Cambridgeshire should be twinned with the celebrated German city of Weimar. Now comes an email from the eagle-eyed James Miller who reveals that

The “Weimar” twinned with Sawtry is not the grand seat of European culture.

In fact it’s a small district about 10km south of Marburg, in Hessen, on the river Lahn.

The main town is Niederweimar (try Googe images).

It’s nice to have these puzzles solved.
