In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, visitors are currently not allowed to enter the Federal Foreign Office. Unfortunately, the Political Archive reading room must remain closed as a result. As soon as a date for reopening has been set, it will be published here on our website. We very much regret any inconvenience caused by this measure and hope that you will understand. Please feel free to book an appointment at a later date, once the reading room has been reopened. Please contact us if the current closure creates significant difficulties for you.
Please also note that in view of the current situation, it may take some time before we can answer your request. To ensure that we receive your request, please only use the contact form on our website. Thank you for your cooperation.
