Embassy of Germany, Prague, Diplomatic mission in Malá Strana district, Prague, Czech Republic
The Embassy of Germany occupies the Baroque Palais Lobkowicz on Vlašská Street and uses the entire building for diplomatic work and administrative functions. The protected heritage building with its expansive gardens spans multiple levels and courtyards.
The building was the site of dramatic events during the Cold War when thousands of East Germans sought refuge on the grounds in 1989. This escape movement marked a turning point in the final months of East Germany.
The Information Centre here promotes the exchange of professionals and students between the two countries. Visitors can explore resources about German education programs and academic institutions.
The grounds are not open to tourists, but the exterior facade and parts of the gardens can be seen from public areas. Anyone needing services should check ahead for office hours and appointment availability.
A striking gold-colored Trabant car sculpture by artist David Černý stands in the garden. The artwork references the fleeing East Germans and has become a notable artistic landmark in the Prague district.
