On a visit to Germany in 1950 Rev Harold Allen
decided it was time for reconciliation after the
war and he invited people from Dorsten to come to
Northern Ireland. A young group came the following

history of the area. There is now a street in
Dorsten named after Harold Allen and Newtownabbey
is twinned with the town
