history

From 1952 Cuba had an embassy in the Federal Republic of Germany at the then seat of government in Bonn, which had its temporary seat in the spa hotel Bad Neuenahr . By 1954 it was relocated to the Villa Am Südpark 49 in Cologne-Marienburg , and in the same year it was converted into an embassy . Around 1960 another relocation followed within Cologne to Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring 34 ( Altstadt-Nord district ). From 1960 to 1963 the office of ambassador was vacant, during this time business was carried out by changing chargé d'affaires from the subordinate civil servant level. Two days after Cuba's recognition of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) became known, on January 14, 1963, the Federal Republic for its part interrupted diplomatic relations with the state, so that the Cuban embassy in Cologne was closed.

After negotiations on both sides in Paris from January 7th to 9th, 1975, the Federal Republic and Cuba resumed their diplomatic relations with one another on January 18th, 1975. In the same year, Cuba reopened an embassy at the Bonn government seat, which was initially located in the Hotel Königshof , until 1976 at Kölner Strasse 54 (today Godesberger Allee ) in Bad Godesberg, the focus of diplomatic missions at the time. Starting no later than 1977, the chancellery was in a formerly by the Federal Ministry of Youth, Family and Health "Federation of German audit office (tax)" and under the jurisdiction of the Federal Ministry of Finance established unused office building on Kennedy Avenue 22/24 in the north of Bad Godesberg. On April 7, 1991, when Cuba rejected UN resolution 668 on the expulsion of the Kurds in Iraq, ten Kurds entered the embassy premises and tried to occupy it. The residence of the embassy, residence of the ambassador , served until 1981, a family house in Bad Godesberg district Friesdorf (Godesberger Allee 155), then at least until 1992, a family house in the so-called. Johanniter quarter in the Bonn district of Gronau (Adalbert Stifter Straße 8).

In the course of relocating the seat of government to Berlin , the headquarters of the Cuban embassy moved there at the end of August 1999. In the previous office building in Bonn, a branch office of the embassy was left, which consists of a culture department and a consular department . It is equipped with two embassy counselors (as of August 2020). The consular district includes the old federal states .
