history
The first phase of diplomatic relations between Slovakia and Germany lasted from 1939 to 1944/1945. The destruction of Czechoslovakia began with the Munich Agreement . In October 1938 the Sudetenland was separated. With the smashing of the rest of the Czech Republic in March 1939 with the formation of the Reich Protectorate and the declaration of independence for Slovakia on March 14, 1939, the complete end of Czechoslovakia had come.
Slovakia and Germany immediately established diplomatic relations. The embassy of Czechoslovakia was located at Rauchstrasse 27 until 1939. The Slovak embassy was established at Großadmiral-Prinz-Heinrich-Straße 11 (today's Hitzigallee). At this location, the Slovak embassy got in the way of the OKH building planned for the Reich capital as part of the reconstruction plans . Therefore a new Slovak embassy was planned on the north side of Rauchstrasse ( ⊙ ). However, this plan was never implemented, instead the Slovak representation moved to the former Czechoslovak representation at Rauchstrasse 27. The Slovak ambassador in Berlin was Matúš Černák . The independence of Slovakia ended de facto in 1944 and de jure in 1945.
After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on December 31, 1992, the independent state of Slovakia was re-established and formed corresponding administrations, authorities, ministries and a government. This continued diplomatic cooperation with Germany and opened its embassy at August-Bier-Strasse 31 in the Bonn district of Kessenich .
With the capital city resolution and the subsequent move resolution , the move of the German government to Berlin was planned for 1999. The embassies also followed to the new seat of government. Slovakia acquired a property in Berlin-Tiergarten , and from 1999 the existing buildings temporarily served as the new headquarters of the embassy. In the years 2006–2010, Slovakia had the engineering company Rockwer GmbH erect a new building on the property at Hildebrandstrasse 25 based on designs by the Potsdam architects Häffner + Zenk . The construction costs amounted to five million euros . The former embassy building in Bonn was used as a branch office of the embassy until 2010 and then abandoned.
