history

The states were already represented in Berlin with embassies to the Prussian King during the German Empire . These state representations were also maintained with the introduction of the republic . This tradition was broken off with the introduction of a central state in 1933.

The federal structure of Germany was rebuilt from 1945 onwards. Before the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany, there were already common transnational structures at the zone level. For Hesse this was the state council of the American occupation area in Stuttgart. The representative of the State of Hesse there was Wilhelm Apel from 1947 , who was also to become the first representative of the State of Hesse at the federal level. In 1949 the State Representation of Hesse was set up in Bonn and Apel took over the office under its current name.

From 1963 the task was performed by a representative in the rank of minister. Later, in many cases, the task was carried out by state secretaries. In 1984 the Hessian representation to the EU was set up in Brussels.

Since 1991, the representative of the State of Hesse has no longer been an independent authority at the federal level, but part of the Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Federal Affairs and, from 1999, the Ministry for Federal and European Affairs.

On May 31, 2001, the new Hessian state representation was opened in Berlin.
