history

Headquarters of the Pakistani Embassy in Bad Godesberg (1952–1999)

Pakistan is an independent state under international law that was founded in 1947 from the predominantly Muslim parts of the former British India . He has maintained diplomatic relations with the Federal Republic of Germany since 1952 . Until 1999, the embassy building was located in the Bonn district of Bad Godesberg , Godesberg-Villenviertel , Rheinallee 24 (Villa Schorlemmer). The residence, i.e. the residence of the ambassador family, was in Koenigswinter , Hauptstrasse 330 ( Villa Leonhart ).

Pakistan and the GDR established diplomatic relations on November 15, 1972. The Pakistani embassy was located at Otto-Grotewohl-Strasse 3a in East Berlin (since 1993 Wilhelmstrasse 66) in Berlin-Mitte until it closed in 1990 . The embassies of Afghanistan , Greece , the Philippines, Portugal , Sweden , Zimbabwe and Zaires were also housed in the same building . After the political change in the GDR, all diplomatic missions moved out in the early 1990s. The building was then converted into an office and commercial building and parts of it were rented out.

After the government moved to Berlin , Pakistan looked for a suitable new building for its embassy in the German capital and found it in a former residential building in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. After a renovation adapted for future use, the embassy staff moved into the building in 1999.

The embassy in Berlin has consulates in the following cities:

• Frankfurt am Main , Eschenbachstraße 28: Consulate General, responsible for the federal states of Baden-Württemberg , Bavaria , Hesse , North Rhine-Westphalia , Rhineland-Palatinate , Saarland and Thuringia
• Düsseldorf : Honorary Consulate for North Rhine-Westphalia
• Hamburg : Honorary Consulate for Hamburg, Bremen and Lower Saxony
• Pullach im Isar Valley : Honorary Consulate for Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg

Embassy building in Berlin

The building, which has been used by Pakistan as an embassy since 1999, was not built in its current form until after the Second World War . Before that, there was a middle-class house in the same place with a major (W. Fordan) as owner, a noble porter and six tenants.

The current building consists of a rectangular structure with a floor area of around 280  m² and five floors with a street-side bay area between the first and third floors. There is an open floor under the roof. The ground floor windows are framed with a colorful band of folk art motifs.
