| Administrative / biographical background: |
Following the achievement of full independence by West Germany in 1955, the office of UK High Commissioner was abolished, and normal diplomatic relations resumed. The British embassy was based in Bonn until after October 1990, when East and West Germany were re-unified and the embassy moved to Berlin. An embassy office in Bonn was maintained after this to liaise with those organs of the unified German state which remained in Bonn. |
