[[WetzCon]] I, the first [[German]] [[science fiction]] [[convention]] was held in Wetzlar over the weekend of 14th and 15th January, 1956. Wetzlar was home to [[Anna Steul]] and close to Giessen where teenage twins [[Jim Benford|Jim]] and [[Greg Benford]] lived, their father Lt. Col. James A. Benford then being stationed with the American armed forces in Germany (the family returned to the US in 1957 — see the twins' reminiscence '[http://jophan.org/mimosa/m30/benford.htm Gerfandom Days]' in ''[[Mimosa]]'' #30). After getting together, the trio decided to put on a convention in Wetzlar. Greg Benford's '1st and 2nd Encounter' in [[Void]] #4 describes how this came about.
