Embassy of Germany, Wellington, German diplomatic mission

The Embassy of Germany in Wellington is an official diplomatic mission located on Hobson Street in the Thorndon area, serving as the workplace for the German diplomatic team. The functional building houses offices, meeting rooms, and spaces for community activities, where consular matters such as passport renewals and visa applications are processed.

Diplomatic relations between Germany and New Zealand were reestablished in the 1950s after World War II ended their earlier ties. The embassy now represents this rebuilt partnership and serves as a symbol of the long friendship that has grown between the two nations.

The embassy serves as a meeting point where German traditions and culture are shared with the local community. Staff organize cultural events, exhibitions, and celebrations that give visitors a taste of German customs, music, and food.

The embassy is open Monday through Thursday in the morning and early afternoon, with shorter hours on Friday. Visitors need to book an appointment online beforehand, and should note that large bags are not permitted inside for security reasons.

For emergencies outside regular office hours, there is a duty officer who can be reached by phone or text message and responds quickly. The staff also actively participates in military and defense cooperation with New Zealand, including joint training exercises.
