On the evening of April 22, 1954, Lord Mayor Erich Mix and representatives of the city council invited the British High Commissioner Sir Frederick Hoyer Millar, who was in Wiesbaden as a guest of the Hessian state government, to a reception in the town hall.

After Sir Hoyer Millar had pointed out the similarities between Germany and Great Britain in a short speech and emphasized the importance of both countries for Europe and the world, he was presented with a Meissen porcelain plate as a memento.

The distinguished guest and his wife then signed the town's Golden Book before continuing their journey to Eberbach Abbey accompanied by the British Consul General.
