The Israeli city of Kfar Saba is located in the Gush Dan region, around 15 kilometers north-east of Tel Aviv on the border with the West Bank.

The city's roots date back to the 6th century BC, the time of the Second Temple according to Jewish chronology. The Talmud mentions the city of Chabazaba several times.

Modern Kfar Saba, however, dates back to an agricultural settlement from 1892, which was destroyed in an Arab raid on August 6, 1910. Rebuilt during the First World War, the settlement served as a refuge for refugees from the region.

This was followed by two further destructions caused by the conflict between the British and Turks and by an Arab attack. It was not until 1922 that new settlers began to lay the foundations for today's town by cultivating citrus fruits.

Today, Kfar Saba has over 80,000 inhabitants and is known as an industrial location. In 1979, a town twinning agreement was concluded with Wiesbaden. However, the return visit did not take place until May 27, 1983. At this counter-proclamation in the ballroom of the town hall, the mayor of Kfar Saba, Yitzhak Wald, signed the Golden Book of the city of Wiesbaden.

Since then, close ties have existed between the Israeli College Beit Berl and the Wiesbaden University of Applied Sciences.
