History

The Republic of China was a winning power of World War II and thus dispatched a military mission to occupied Berlin. However, it did not re-establish diplomatic ties with either East or West Germany after the war. Its first in-official office was established in 1956 in Bad Godesberg in Bonn in the then West Germany as the Freichina- Presse und Informationsdienst ("Free China Press and Information Service"), later in 1972 becoming the Büro der Fernost-Informationen ("Far East Information Office").[4]

In 1992, it became the Taipei Wirtschafts- und Kulturbüro or "Taipei Economic and Cultural Office".[5] In 1997, it adopted its present name.[6] In October 1999, the Taipei Representative Office moved to Berlin, and offices in Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich were established.[4] There is also a Taiwan Trade Center in Düsseldorf.
