Location and building

The embassy is located in the diplomatic district of Chanakyapuri in the Indian capital New Delhi. The diplomatic missions of Japan, Ethiopia and Canada are direct neighbors. The street address is: No. 6/50G, Shanti Path, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 110021. [1]

The embassy is located in the southwest of the city. The Ministry of External Affairs, located 4 km northeast of the embassy, can be reached in a few minutes. The Indira Gandhi International Airport is located around 8 km to the west.

The current German Embassy building in New Delhi was designed by Johannes Krahn and built between 1956 and 1962 as the first new embassy building of the Federal Republic of Germany on a park-like site. [2] This was a reaction to the fact that India was one of the first countries to recognize the Federal Republic of Germany diplomatically after the Second World War. The Le Corbusier-inspired buildings for the chancellery and ambassador's residence form the main part of the property. [3] Numerous extensions were added later. From 2008 to 2013, a general refurbishment was carried out in accordance with conservation principles. [4]

Mission

The German Embassy in New Delhi is tasked with maintaining Indo-German relations, representing German interests vis-à-vis the Government of India and informing the Federal Government of Germany about developments in India.

History

India became independent from the United Kingdom on August 15, 1947. West Germany opened an embassy in New Delhi on April 22, 1952.
