Heinz Voigt (born 11 September 1913, date of death unknown) was a German jurist and diplomat who served as Ambassador to Australia, Morocco, Iraq, and Sweden.
In 1963 he was appointed a Deputy Director of the Foreign Office and in 1964 received his first high-level posting as Ambassador to Morocco in Rabat, serving until 1970.
[1] In July 1970, Voigt was appointed as German Ambassador to Australia, presenting his credentials to Governor-General Sir Paul Hasluck on 20 August 1970.
[1] Voigt was Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany when the Australian Government recognised the German Democratic Republic in December 1972, which entailed the exchange of ambassadors, but despite the limited recognition of East Germany given by his government Voigt expressed that the decision was a "sovereign decision" for Australia to make.
[3] In October 1974, Voigt was appointed as Ambassador to Iraq in order to reopen the Embassy that had been closed since 1965 in Baghdad.
