Greeting from the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany

Ambassador's Message

Dear visitor,

welcome to the Website of the German Embassy in Australia. Having taken over as Ambassador of Germany in Australia in July 2005, I wish to thank you for the interest you take in our work and in the information we offer.

On this Website you will find interesting and useful information on Germany, on German-Australian relations and on the different fields of work at the Embassy. We also provide some answers to frequently asked questions on consular and travel-related issues.

For further information, we invite you to use the included links leading to the Websites of the German Foreign Office in Berlin and to other German institutions. The official website of the Federal Republic of Germany "deutschland.de" gives you access to thousands of internet addresses in Germany which will help you discover the many facets of the very close and varied relations between Australia and Germany in the political, economic, scientific and cultural fields.

The German Embassy in Australia is committed to promoting the bridge-building between the two geographically very distant yet traditionally very closely connected countries. This Website is an up-to-date contribution to this effort.

I hope that you will find visiting our homepage a pleasant and useful experience. Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Martin Lutz
Ambassador
