About the Iranian Embassy in Berlin
The embassy is now Iran’s only mission in Germany. Iran’s consulates general in Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg and Munich were closed in late 2024 on the orders of the German government, so all consular matters for Iranians in Germany are handled in Berlin.
Germany is home to one of the largest Iranian communities in Europe.
