Embassy of Germany, Brasília, German diplomatic mission
The Embassy of Germany in Brasília is a modern building complex located on Avenida das Nações, designed by architect Hans Scharoun and representing his only work outside Germany. The compound includes the ambassador's official residence, diplomatic offices, and staff quarters, surrounded by gardens created by renowned Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx.
When Brasília was built, the German government received land free of charge in the diplomatic sector and was among the first nations to establish its representation there. The building was designed during the same period as Scharoun's famous Berlin Philharmonic and reflects the same approach of organic modern architecture with flowing lines and naturally connected spaces.
The embassy serves as a gathering point for the German community in Brasília, hosting celebrations on German holidays and cultural events. It represents how Germany presents itself to Brazil through thoughtful architecture and maintained gardens.
The embassy is easy to locate on Avenida das Nações and offers parking nearby with facilities for people with mobility needs. Visits must be scheduled in advance, as walk-in visits are generally not possible due to high volume of requests.
The embassy was designed by Hans Scharoun, making it his only work outside Germany, and the gardens were created by Roberto Burle Marx, one of South America's most influential landscape architects. This combination of two master designers gives the compound a distinctive architectural and cultural importance.
