List of the Hanseatic ambassadors in Prussia
This is a list of the Hanseatic envoys in Prussia (1819–1933).
history
In 1819 the first Hamburg minister resident was appointed in Berlin . In 1859 the Hamburg residency was established at the suggestion of the Hamburg business owner Dr. Geffcken converted into the Hanseatic Legation for the joint diplomatic representation of the three Hanseatic cities of Bremen , Hamburg and Lübeck at the Prussian court. It was in Tiergartenstrasse 17a. Towards the end of the 19th century, the legation was renamed to represent the Hanseatic cities at the Reich. The reorganization of the relations of the German states after the Reich constitution of 1919 led to the dissolution of the Hanseatic legation on June 30, 1920. There was a provisional representation of Hamburg in Berlin. From 1925 an envoy was permanently in office in Berlin. In February 1934 the legation was renamed the Berlin office of the Hamburg State Office, and in April 1934 the Hamburg Representation was renamed Berlin. It existed until May 1945.
The envoys were mostly deputy electoral leaders after the mayors in the Reichsrat . In addition to the embassy in Berlin, there were also temporarily Hamburg consulates in Stettin (1842–1876), Stralsund (1845–1876), Elbing (1845–1876), Königsberg i. Pr. (1857–1876), Danzig (1857–1876) and Memel (1859–1876).
In 1949, the agencies for the states of Hamburg and Bremen were re-established to represent the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg at the federal level and to represent the state of Bremen at the federal level .
