authority

The Representation of the State of Lower Saxony in Berlin represents and represents the interests of the State of Lower Saxony at the Federal Government in Berlin and coordinates the work of Lower Saxony in the Federal Council . The representation is subordinate to the representative of the state of Lower Saxony at the federal government , since August 2017 Birgit Honé . Regulations on the tasks and the involvement of the state representation or the authorized representatives can be found in Sections 23, 26 and 29 of the joint rules of procedure of the state government and the ministries in Lower Saxony (GGO).

In addition, congresses and meetings are held together with business. Art exhibitions and receptions also take place in the state representation. Since 2002 the city of Oldenburg has organized the Defftig Ollnborger Gröönkohl-Äten in the state representation .

history

Since 1949, the state of Lower Saxony had a representation at the federal level in what was then the German capital of Bonn . In 1949, the state of Lower Saxony acquired a plot of land on Dahlmannstrasse, on which the state representative's first own building was erected by 1952. This was the seat of the state representation until 1990. In November 1990, the newly established Lower Saxony State Representation was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Gerhard Schröder . In 2000 the Lower Saxony state representative moved to Berlin.

building

The agency is located in the Ministergärten on the corner of Ebertstrasse in the Mitte district . The State Representation shares a building with the Representation of the State of Schleswig-Holstein at the federal level . Because the government moved from Bonn to Berlin , the two countries needed a new agency, for which they announced an architecture competition in 1997, which the architects Cornelsen / Seelinger and Seelinger / Vogels from Darmstadt won. They carried out the construction with construction costs of around 28 million euros. The shared building opened on June 28, 2001.

The representations of Saarland , Rhineland-Palatinate and, across the street, the representation of Hesse are in the immediate vicinity . The Holocaust memorial is on the back of the building .

In the garden of the state representative office on Ebertstrasse there is a life-size, red statue of an Asian elephant on which the names of Lower Saxony communities are printed.
