Gotha adelt

One Leader Jersey of the Tour of Thüringen in the Design of Gotha adelt

City-owned Municipal Affairs Company Sponsors the Young Rider Classification in 2015

When the 28th edition of the International Ladies' Tour of Thüringen kicks off on July 17, 2015 at Gotha riders of less than 23 years of age will be competing for the Purple Gotha adelt Under-23 Leader Jersey. The former princely residence of Gotha markets itself under this slogan, literally meaning “Gotha Ennobles” and will be present in everybody's mind throughout the Tour as one of the Jersey Sponsors, not only at Gotha, but also at Erfurt, Schmölln, Meerane, Zeulenroda, Gera, Schleiz, and Greiz.

The funding for this jersey and classification is raised by the Stadtwirtschaft Gotha GmbH, Gotha's city-owned company in charge of municipal affairs, stepping in as the Jersey Sponsor. “The purple-and-gold, a true princely, design of the jersey and the multiple opportunities for marketing and advertisement in the course of the Tour of Thüringen come together under our umbrella brand, Gotha adelt, in order to make our beautiful city known throughout the region and beyond,” General Manager, Rainer Zipfel explains. And Christoph Gösel, General Manager of KulTourStadt Gotha GmbH, Gotha's city-owned company in charge of cultural action, plays that ball on with excitement, “Our commitment to being a stage host is meant to portray Gotha as an important place of sports, culture, and business unto this high-end sports event organization. This message literally rolls through the land now thanks to the partnership and cooperation we've set up with our municipality.”
