Rheinhöhenweg 101, Former embassy building in Oberwinter, Germany.
Rheinhöhenweg 101 is the former Hotel Waldheide, a post-World War II building at the corner of Rheinhöhenweg and Buchenweg in the Waldheide area of Oberwinter, at 155 m above sea level. Ukraine converted it into its embassy chancery, which opened in December 1994; the exterior remains unchanged.
Ukraine bought the former Hotel Waldheide, built after World War II and leased as a restaurant from 1978, and converted it into its embassy; the chancery moved from Bonn to Oberwinter in December 1994. President Leonid Kuchma officially opened the site during a state visit on 4 July 1995, and the visitor room was enlarged in spring 1998. The main embassy moved to Berlin in 1999, leaving a branch office that closed on 18 November 2015.
The building's address, Rheinhöhenweg 101, sits in the Waldheide area of Oberwinter, on the so-called Rheinhöhe at 155 m above sea level. From 1999 the site housed the Bonn branch office, the embassy's only outpost and the only diplomatic representation left outside Bonn in the former capital region. Its staff kept contact with federal ministries remaining in Bonn, UN institutions there and companies and associations in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The former embassy stands at the corner of Rheinhöhenweg and Buchenweg (Rheinhöhenweg 101) in the Waldheide area of Oberwinter, at 155 m above sea level. It lies within a residential neighbourhood, so visitors should view it from the public street only; the building is in private use and its interior is not open.
The building was erected after World War II as the Hotel "Waldheide" and was leased out as a restaurant from 1978. Ukraine bought it while the move of the government seat to Berlin was already decided, and the chancery moved in in December 1994. The exterior remains unchanged and no new use has been found (as of August 2026).
