history

The governments of Antonio López de Santa Anna and Emperor Ferdinand I (Austrian Empire) recognized each other in 1842.

On April 10, 1864, Archduke Maximilian , the younger brother of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, accepted the Imperial Crown of Mexico offered to him. Franz Joseph I sent Guido von Thun and Hohenstein to Maximilian I and thus recognized his government. Maximilian's government was overthrown, Maximilian himself was sentenced to death in 1867 and executed. As a result, no diplomatic relations existed for more than 30 years.

After an agreement between Austria-Hungary and Mexico of March 23, 1901, diplomatic relations were resumed.

During the corporate state dictatorship under Schuschnigg there was only one embassy without an ambassador; with the "Anschluss" to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the representation became obsolete. Mexico was then the only state in the world that officially condemned the annexation of Austria to the League of Nations ; In 1956 Vienna named its Mexikoplatz in thanks for this .

After the war, diplomatic relations were restored and the embassy was reoccupied in 1949. From the 1950s onwards, the ambassador to Mexico was also accredited to Cuba and the Central American Republics ( Costa Rica , El Salvador , Guatemala , Honduras , Nicaragua , and Panama ).

The Austrian embassy is now located in Sierra Tarahumara 420, Colonia Lomas de Chapultepec , Mexico, DF (11000).

The Mexico Culture Forum is also located at the embassy today .

In addition to the embassy, ​​there are four Austrian consular representations ( honorary consulates ) in Mexico: Cancún , Guadalajara , Monterrey , and Tijuana . The Mérida consulate is temporarily closed (as of January 2020).
