About the Argentine Consulate General in Frankfurt
The consulate general serves Argentine citizens in Hesse, Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, the three southern states with the most Argentinians in its area. It is currently led by consul Frederico Franceschini as head of office a.i.
From time to time the consulate holds itinerant consular days in Munich so that Argentinians in Bavaria do not have to travel to Frankfurt. Dates are announced on its website.
