The Embassy of the State of Israel in the Federal Republic of Germany was the diplomatic mission of Israel in West Germany. It was located in Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Bad Godesberg district of the city. [1]
Prior to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Federal Republic of Germany and Israel, on 12 May 1965, the state's sole representation in the Federal Republic was the Israel Mission (1953–1966) in Cologne, a "trade mission" subordinate to the Israeli Ministry of Finance for the settlement of German reparations under the Luxembourg Agreement (1952). The head of the mission, Felix Eliezer Shinnar, held his office with the rank of ambassador. After lengthy negotiations with the Federal Republic of Germany, the mission was also able to lead a consular department subordinate to the Israeli Foreign Ministry. [2] [3] [4]
After establishing diplomatic relations, Israel opened an embassy in Bonn in August 1965; the first Israeli ambassador was accredited on 24 August. The embassy's chancellery was initially set up in the property of the Israel Mission in the Cologne district of Ehrenfeld. In 1966, it moved to Bad Godesberg, the geographical focus of the diplomatic missions, to an office building in the Godesberg-Villenviertel district.
When the Israeli government began to adjust to a longer presence at the seat of government in Bonn, it planned to build the new embassy chancellery in Bad Godesberg. [5]

The Hallstein Doctrine, named after Walter Hallstein, was a key principle in the foreign policy of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1955 to 1970. As usually presented, it prescribed that the Federal Republic would not establish or maintain diplomatic relations with any state that recognized the German Democratic Republic. In fact it was more nuanced. There was no public official text of the "doctrine", but its main architect, Wilhelm Grewe, explained it publicly in a radio interview. Konrad Adenauer, who served as Chancellor of Germany from 1949 to 1963, explained the outlines of the policy in a statement to the German parliament on 22 September 1955. It meant that the Federal German government would regard it as an unfriendly act if third countries were to recognize the "German Democratic Republic" or to maintain diplomatic relations with it – with the exception of the Soviet Union. The West German response to such could mean breaking off diplomatic relations, though this was not stated as an automatic response under the policy and in fact remained the ultima ratio.
