Embassy of Germany, Bern

The German Embassy in Bern is the diplomatic representation of the Federal Republic of Germany in the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein.

[1] Honorary consuls of the Federal Republic of Germany are appointed and based in Basel, Geneva, Lugano and Zürich as well as in Balzers in the Principality of Liechtenstein.

[3] After being situated in various rental properties, the German Imperial embassy rented Villa Frohberg in Bern's Länggasse district around 1881.

The office, which is set back from the street so as not to impair the perspective view of the residence, was designed by the Bernese architect Hans Klauser in the neo-baroque style and was built the subsequent year.

During World War II, the headquarters of the German Abwehr (the military-intelligence service of the Wehrmacht) was located in the embassy building.
