Israeli Consulate Munich

It was not until 1965 that the Federal Republic of Germany and Israel established diplomatic relations. But already in the fall of 1948 an Israeli consulate was opened in Munich. However, it was not considered an institution that maintained official relations with Germany, but with the Western occupying powers (USA, Great Britain and France). The consulate was mainly there for the needs of the Jewish displaced persons who were staying in DP camps in Bavaria.
