Saint Boniface was born in Crediton, murdered in 754 near Dokkum and burried in Fulda.

The relationship between the three St. Boniface-cities Crediton, Dokkum and Fulda is therefore very obvious.

On behalf of the citizens of Dokkum a friendship committee "Vriendschapscomité" is founded on November 20, 2002, with delegates from sport, culture, schools, churches and Rotary.

Not just the civil bonds were reinforced. The contacts between the citizens of Dokkum, Fulda and Crediton intensified thanks to the communication by the friendship-committees of the three cities.
