About the Romanian Embassy in Berlin

The embassy represents Romania in Germany. With around 900,000 citizens, Romanians are one of the largest foreign communities in Germany, and the German minority in Transylvania and the Banat has shaped ties for centuries. Romania joined the Schengen area fully in 2025.

Romania has three consulates general and three honorary consuls in Germany.

Which Romanian office is responsible for me?

Hamburg, Bremen and Schleswig-Holstein are not listed for any office by the Federal Foreign Office; residents there usually turn to the embassy. Honorary consuls in Kiel, Leipzig and Neustadt an der Weinstraße help with simpler matters.
