The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Lima () is the official diplomatic mission of Germany to the Republic of Peru. History 19th century As a result of the establishment of consular relations between Peru and the then German Confederation, a Hamburger consulate was opened in Peru in 1828, with other German states opening consulates after, such as Lübeck, Hannover and Bremen. The Prussian headed German Customs Union was established in 1834, with which Peru maintained its commercial relations and was also the signatory of the first diplomatic treaty between both entities in the Prussian consulate in 1860, which was left without effect. As Germany territorially evolved, Peru maintained relations with its predecessors, such as the North German Confederation, to whom Peru expressed its neutrality during the Franco-Prussian War and whose first envoy presented his credentials on July 5, 1870, until the establishment of the German Empire in 1871. At the time, the Peruvian ambassador to Russia was accredited to Germany from its legation in Saint Petersburg, then changing to that also accredited to Austria-Hungary. During the War of the Pacific, the German consulates in Lima protested against the excesses committed by the Chilean Army during their land campaign in the south and the occupation of Lima against the German colony in Peru. To prevent such events, foreign consulates had distributed their countries' flags and national symbols to used by foreign residents in their homes, which was not respected. As a result, many foreigners fled to Lima, where houses were rented, serving as the residences of specific colonies under the protection of their respective legations. The German legation remained open for the duration of the conflict, abstaining from recognizing the Magdalena government, only recognizing the government of Miguel Iglesias on April 14, 1884. 20th century Relations between Peru and Germany remained stable until World War I. The now poor relations culminated in the Peruvian government severing its relations with both Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1917. As a result, the countries' legations closed, with the Spanish Embassy now in charge of protecting German interests in Peru. Relations were reestablished with the Weimar Republic on May 28, 1920. As a result of German declaration of war against the United States, Peru severed its relations with Germany on January 24, 1942, notifying then German ambassador via a letter. On the same day, Noebel requested his safe passage out of the country,
