history

The German Reich had had diplomatic relations with Cuba since 1910. The Embassy in Havana was responsible for Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic . Relations were interrupted in 1917–1920, and there were no relationships between 1941–1953. The Berlin Hotel Esplanade is specified as the location for the Cuban legation (spelling with 'C') in Germany in the Berlin address book from 1921 . Later, in the 1930s, the embassy office of Cuba was located in the Tiergarten district , Rauchstrasse 7 in a residential building of the government councilor a. D. Valentin.

Diplomatic relations with the Federal Republic of Germany existed between 1952 and 1963, which were then broken off but resumed in 1975. The message was from 1975 to 1999 based in the Kennedy Allee 22-24 in the district Plittersdorf the Bonn city district Bad Godesberg . A branch office of the embassy has been located here since the embassy moved to Berlin.

The GDR and Cuba established missions in Havana and East Berlin in 1961 , which were elevated to the rank of embassies in 1963. The Cuban embassy was based in the building of the former Jewish orphanage at Berliner Strasse 120/121 in the Berlin district of Pankow. The commercial agency was also located here .
