List of German ambassadors in Brazil

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of German ambassadors in Brazil contains the highest-ranking representatives of the North German Confederation , the German Reich and the Federal Republic of Germany in Brazil . As early as 1867, the North German Confederation had sent a representative to Brazil for diplomatic affairs. This post was then taken over by accredited diplomats from the German Empire , the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich until the representation in Rio de Janeiro was converted into a full embassy in 1937. With the establishment of Brasília as the new capital, the German embassy also moved there by 1970.
