Greece has an embassy in Berlin and five General Consulates in Hamburg, Munich, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart and Frankfurt.

The issue of reparations for German war crimes and the forced loan during the occupation continues to be unsettled.

Moreover, Greece supported German reunification during the 1980s and the two countries cooperated in many sectors (cultural, technological, military etc.)

In 1999, the Greek foreign minister Theodoros Pangalos caused a diplomatic crisis when he stated that "Germany is politically a dwarf"[6] and later apologized.

The German minister Heiko Maas has said : "[...]Germany and the whole European Union stand by Greece in firm solidarity".
