Taipei Representative Office in Germany

The Taipei Representative Office in the Federal Republic of Germany; (Chinese: 駐德國台北代表處; pinyin: Zhù Déguó Táiběi Dàibiǎo Chù; German: Taipeh Vertretung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland) represents the interests of Taiwan in Germany in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy, and deals with Germany-Taiwanese relations.

Based in Berlin, it also has offices in Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich.

[3] The Republic of China was a winning power of World War II and thus dispatched a military mission to occupied Berlin.

However, it did not re-establish diplomatic ties with either East or West Germany after the war.

Its first in-official office was established in 1956 in Bad Godesberg in Bonn in the then West Germany as the Freichina- Presse und Informationsdienst ("Free China Press and Information Service"), later in 1972 becoming the Büro der Fernost-Informationen ("Far East Information Office").
