After this building was sold, the embassy was located at Vasilissis Sofias Avenue 2 during the 1930s and the German occupation had lost the ability to act in foreign policy.

There was a new beginning in 1951, when post-war Germany initially resumed diplomatic relations with 12 countries, including Greece.

After the new start, the embassy was initially temporarily housed in the Hotel Grande Bretagne, then moved to a building at Issiodou Street 22 in 1953.

The increasing space requirement and the damage caused by the great earthquake of 1981 led to the decision to rebuild the building.

[2] The current Embassy building is significant in its architecture for the incorporation of the Chronos Sculpture [German: Chronoskulptur], created by Karl Schlamminger, on its facade.
