List of ambassadors of Austria to Germany

In the last phase of the Holy Roman Empire (until 1806), Austria sent an embassy (1662 to 1806) to the Perpetual Diet of Regensburg. After the Confederation of the Rhine (1806–1813) and the Congress of Vienna (1815), this was followed by an embassy to the German Confederation (1815–1866), in which 35 sovereign princes and four free cities had joined forces. From 1815 to 1866, Austria sent diplomatic representatives to the Federal Convention (Bundestag) of the German Confederation in Frankfurt am Main, and from 1871 to the Imperial Court of the German Empire in Berlin. In addition, some of the Habsburg embassies founded in the 16th century in individual German states continued to exist until the 1920s. == Heads of Mission ==

Ambassador to the German Confederation Since the Austrian Empire was a member state of the German Confederation, it was not represented in the sense of a foreign state. Like the other members, Austria sent a representative to the Federal Convention. According to the Federal Act, the Austrian representative presided over the Federal Convention and conducted its affairs. Austria was therefore called the "Bundespräsidium" (roughly chairman of the federation). In practice, this was more of an honorary title. In parallel to the representative in the Federal Convention, there was also temporarily an Austrian embassy to the Free City of Frankfurt. Ambassador to the German Empire Austro-Hungarian ambassador (until 1918) and envoy of the First Republic of Austria (from 1919) to the government of the German Empire (until 1918), the Weimar Republic (from 1919) and National Socialist Germany (from 1933). Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany Ambassador of the Second Republic to the Federal Republic of Germany, from 1950 in Bonn, since 1999 in Berlin. ==See also==
