The Croatian Embassy in Berlin (officially Embassy of the Republic of Croatia , Croatian Veleposlanstvo Republike Hrvatske ) is the diplomatic representation of Croatia in Germany . The embassy building has been located at Ahornstrasse 4 in the Schöneberg district of Berlin since 1999 .
history
After the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was destroyed by the attack by the Wehrmacht in April 1941, the Independent State of Croatia was formed as a vassal state of the German Reich. Diplomatic relations between Germany and Croatia were immediately established in April 1941, which lasted until the surrender in 1945.
The Croatian legation was housed in Palais Pannwitz in the Grunewald district. The German Reich had acquired the palace at Brahmsstrasse 8-10, and in 1994 a hotel opened there.
From 1945 to 1991 there was no diplomatic relations between Germany and Croatia due to the lack of a Croatian state, see Embassy of Yugoslavia (Bonn) .
Croatia declared its independence in June 1991, followed by the Croatian War . Germany and the newly founded Croatia have had diplomatic relations again since January 1992. The Croatian Embassy was opened in Bonn in 1992 and relocated to Berlin in 1999. Until 2004 there was a branch of the Croatian embassy in the former Bonn embassy building.
Gordan Bakota has been the ambassador since January 7, 2020 . His predecessor Gordan Grlić Radman was appointed Foreign Minister of the Republic of Croatia in July 2019 .
