List of ambassadors of Germany to Egypt

{{short description|none}}

The List of German ambassadors in Egypt contains all German ambassadors in Egypt, including their predecessors such as Prussian consuls. The embassy is in the capital Cairo.

History

The Federal Republic of Germany established diplomatic relations with Egypt in 1952. Between May 1965 and June 1972 the embassy was closed and diplomatic relations were broken off. During this time, the Federal Republic had diplomats with the rank of embassy councilor or legation councilor as chargé d'affaires on site. The GDR had a commercial representation from 1953, a consulate general from 1959 and an ambassador in Cairo from 1969.

| Die Bundesregierung beabsichtigte, mit den Regierungen der arabischen Liga diplomatische Beziehungen auf Residentministerniveau aufzunehmen, nach dem diese mit dem Königreich Ägypten bestanden.

Für die auszutauschenden Akkreditierungsschreiben hatte Faruq auf den Titel „König von Ägypten und Sudan“ bestanden Vgl. Bulletin vom 15. März 1952 S. 313 und BT-Drs. Nr. 3659.

Faruq wurde durch einen Armeeputsch zur Abdankung gezwungen und am 7. September 1952 bildete Muhammad Nagib eine Regierung (vgl. Keesing 1952 S. 3637).

Am 10. September 1952 wurde das Schilumimabkommen unterzeichnet. [https://www.bundesarchiv.de/cocoon/barch/0001/k/k1952k/kap1_2/kap2_64/para3_2.html#d8e341 bundesarchiv.de]
