history
Before the Second World War , the embassy was on Blasieholmen in the Hovslagargatan 2 building, opposite Gamla stan (the historic old town of Stockholm). In 1951 the General Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany resumed its work there. A few months later it became a legation, and from 1956 an embassy.
The embassy in Skarpögatan became famous when it was stormed by members of the Red Army faction on April 24, 1975 when Stockholm was taken hostage . Two hostages were murdered and one of the hostage-takers died in an accidentally triggered explosion.
Between 2007 and 2010 the building was renovated. In the course of this, the ambassador's residence on the site was demolished in 2009. During the construction phase, the embassy moved to a building at Artillerigatan 64, approx. 1.3 km away. In September 2010 she returned to the Skarpögatan.
In autumn 2018, a new residence was inaugurated on the embassy grounds.
