Embassy of the PRC in the united Germany
editThe building complex near the Jannowitz Bridge, in use since 1999, was built in 1988 after the plans of Jens Ebert for 182 million marks and was the new seat of the Federal Board of FDGB ("House of Unions"). After Die Wende, it was rebuilt to a convention center ("Berliner Congress Center - BCC"), but soon went out of service. As a result of the Capital Decision in 1991, the Chinese Embassy (in the former West Germany) moved in 1999 from Bonn to Berlin. Both Chinese embassies merged and acquired the convention center. The conversion was carried out according to plans of Novotny Mähner Associated. The building has a silver exterior, decorated with mirrored windows. There is a sculpture of a Chinese guardian lion on the portal.
The Chinese Embassy consists of the following areas:[1]
- Consular department
- Political department
- Department of Press and Public Relations
- Military department
- Culture department
