After recording of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Indonesia and the Federal Republic of Germany on 25 June 1952 Indonesia in 1953 opened an embassy at the government headquarters in Bonn. Right from the start, the embassy chancellery was located in Villa Kurt-Schumacher-Straße 4 in the center of the parliament and government district. The Felseck House in Königswinter served as the residence of the embassy, ​​the residence of the ambassador . In the first half of the 1960s, the military department of the embassy was based in the Plittersdorf district (Hochkreuzallee 3), then in the Godesberg-Villenviertel district (Plittersdorfer Straße 81) and then in the Rüngsdorf district (Heerstraße 95, today Konstantinstraße). While diplomatic relations between the Federal Republic and Algeria were interrupted from May 1965 to December 1971 , the embassy of the Republic of Indonesia acting as a protecting power with a "Department for the interests of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria" removed the location of the previous Algerian embassy ( Rheinallee 32 ) the business for the country come true. From 1972 onwards , a residential building on a hillside in the Mehlem district (Im Hag 24), which was formerly owned by the local company Ringsdorff, served as the embassy residence from 1972 onwards, based on a design by the architect Dirk Denninger .

When the Indonesian government began to adjust to a longer presence at the Bonn government seat, at the end of the 1970s it planned to build a new embassy office on a plot of around 3,100 m² in Bad Godesberg, the focus of the diplomatic missions in Bonn. It was added to a residential building (Bernkasteler Straße 2a), and was completed and occupied in 1980. Since the 1980s, the embassy’s cultural department has been located in the Dottendorf district (Dottendorfer Straße 86).

In the course of relocating the seat of government , the Indonesian embassy moved to Berlin in November 1999, most recently with around 60 employees . In Bonn, a branch of the embassy with the defense department was initially left in the former chancellery building, which was also moved to Berlin around 2003. The former residence in the Mehlem district (Im Hag 24) had been vacant since the move to Berlin and was still owned by the Republic of Indonesia; In 2012 at the latest, the Indonesian representation at the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Bonn was set up in the former office building of the embassy as part of the Indonesian embassy in Berlin. The two former embassy buildings were auctioned on December 12, 2016. The former office building on Bernkasteler Straße is to be rented (as of September 2017).
