The following is a partial list of German diplomatic representatives to Copenhagen in Denmark.
History Prussian envoys have been appointed to Copenhagen since 1656, and from the North German Confederation since 1868. The German Empire appointed envoys to Copenhagen since 1871. During the occupation by the German Reich from 1940 to 1945, these were replaced by Reich Plenipotentiaries. In January 1951, a Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany was set up in Copenhagen, which was converted into an embassy in June 1951.
The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany is currently headed by Prof. Dr. Pascal Hector, Ambassador and is located at Göteborg Plads 1, 2150 Nordhavn, Copenhagen. There are German consuls in Aarhus (the seat of Aarhus Municipality), Haderslev (the administrative seat of Haderslev Municipality), Nuuk (the capital of Greenland), Nørresundby (a city in Aalborg Municipality), Odense (the largest city on the island of Funen), Rønne (the largest town on the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea), and Tórshavn (capital of the Faroe Islands).
