The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany is located in the city of Lisbon, in the Pena area. Specifically, it is situated in Campo dos Mártires da Pátria, an urban area with historical and symbolic significance in the Portuguese capital.
This Campo, with its particular environment, lends a distinct character to the embassy's surroundings. Its presence in this location contributes to the institutional atmosphere of the area, integrating into the urban landscape that defines this part of Lisbon.
This building represents the solid and continuous diplomatic relationship between Germany and Portugal. It is a central point for bilateral cooperation, symbolizing the partnership between the two countries in the European context and beyond their borders.
The diplomatic mission reflects a shared commitment to ideals of unity and effectiveness in Europe, serving as a vital link in communication and in the development of ties in various areas, from economy to culture.
The history of diplomatic relations between Portugal and Germany is long and complex, with the first formal links dating back to 1871, still with the German Empire. Over time, these relations have gone through different phases.
After interruptions during periods of global conflict, such as the First and Second World Wars, diplomatic relations with the Federal Republic of Germany were re-established in March 1951. The presence of this embassy in Lisbon is, thus, a testament to the resilience and evolution of the ties that unite the two nations over more than a century and a half.
