The city of Jasper, founded in 1818, is a regional center in Southwestern Indiana, noted for its German Catholic roots. Many of the residents trace their ancestry to a small town in Germany called Pfaffenweiler, which was chosen to be Jasper’s sister city.

One such event is the Jasper Strassenfest, a celebration between Jasper and Pfaffenweiler held every August in the town.
