history
Official diplomatic relations between the German states and Brazil existed as early as the 19th century; in 1830, for example, the Berlin address book shows the Brazilian embassy . In 1868, among other things, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the North German Confederation maintained appropriate relations with Brazil. From 1871 the newly founded German Reich continued the exchange of diplomats, the Brazilian representation was based in Berlin.
After the end of the First World War and the end of the German Empire , diplomatic relations with Brazil continued from 1920. In 1925 the embassy used a building in Berlin at Nollendorfplatz 6 and in 1930 a house at Kurfürstendamm 169 in what was then the administrative district of Wilmersdorf .
In 1940, Grunewald , Königsallee 16, is given as the seat of the embassy office . From 1942 there was no consulate general or a diplomatic representation of Brazil in Berlin, because Brazil was at war with Germany from that year .
After the Second World War , Brazil sent diplomats to the American zone of German occupation in Frankfurt am Main in 1946 . In Bonn , the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany founded in 1949, the Brazilian diplomats then set up a new embassy. The embassy was located at Dreizehnmorgenweg 10, from around 1975 in a new building at 74 Kennedyallee .
In October 1973, Brazil agreed to exchange ambassadors with the GDR . The GDR provided a building for the ambassador and his team in the East Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg , Esplanade 11.
The reunification of Germany and the move of the government to Berlin led to the abandonment of the Bonn location and the search for a new location in Berlin. For construction of the cleared after the war debris area south of the River Spree in Berlin's Mitte some plots were sold here, one acquired the Brazilian government for its new embassy.
Embassy building
In order to save state money, the subsidiary of a banking company took on the order to build a new building. The multi-part building ensemble is based on plans by the Berlin architects Pysall, Stahrenberg & Partner and, as an office building, offers space for other interested parties. The head building in which the embassy staff moved into was rented by the Brazilian state from the bank for twenty years. The ensemble stands in a street front with the listed trade union building of Taut & Hoffmann . The building and room acoustics of the building were carried out by the company Akustik-Ingenieurbüro Moll .
The building near the Märkisches Museum was completed in 2000 and the then Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso officially inaugurated it during his visit to the Expo 2000 in Hanover.
On May 12, 2014, strangers caused significant property damage to the building when they broke the windows with cobblestones.
