Embassy History
The first Irish diplomatic mission in Germany was established in 1929 on Drakestraße, near Tiergarten. This building was destroyed in an air-raid during World War II.[2]
In 1951, Ireland opened an Embassy in Bonn, which was the de facto capital of West Germany.[2] This embassy was eventually moved to Friedrichstraße, Berlin in 2000 after German Reunification.[2]
Building
The embassy occupies part of 51 Jägerstraße. This building was built by the Mendelssohn family in 1789. In 1939 it was, along with a number of other buildings on Jägerstraße, forcibly sold to the German Reich.[4]
