Felsőtárkány lies near Eger. The partnership arose from the aftermath of Hurricane Wiebke, which in late February and early March 1990 wrought untold destruction in Germany. To deal with the great amount of cleaning up that lay before the authorities in the local woodlands, the Soonwald and the Lützelsoon, many workers were brought in from Sweden, Austria and Hungary, and in particular from Felsőtárkány, who were lodged in Dickenschied's holiday houses for a whole year. From the first private contacts grew a relationship that in the end turned into a partnership between the villages. There are relations between several clubs. Dickenschied also supports a music club, two kindergartens and a school in Felsőtárkány.
