History and architecture[]

First established in 1835, the consulate has inhabited a multitude of locations throughout its history before moved to its current complex on Königinstr. 5 in 1958. The consulate's operation was suspended between 1941 and 1945, and an interim office was set up until the consulate moved to a new location in 1946.^[1]

The consulate is located in a custom-built office building, the last of the signature modernist U.S. Consulates built in Germany in the 1950s still in service. The work of renowned Bavarian architect Sep Ruf, the building is considered a historic monument. As the main building from 1958 is raised on concrete stilts, the original look was airy and light. Security measures, added several times since the 1970s and fortifications built around the site after 9/11 inhibit this effect now.
