Old Danish Embassy
Old Danish embassy – N
ow "Hotel Das Stue"The Danish embassy in Berlin has been housed in several different buildings, and until 1940 the Danish embassy was located on Alsenstrasse, but the NS government wanted to level this house with the ground, as it was located on the East - West axis in which the authorities wanted to build the new Berlin. For the same reason, the Danish embassy was expropriated by the German authorities and a new one was built in Rankestrasse between the Austrian and Spanish embassies. Construction began in the autumn of 1938 under the leadership of the Danish envoy chamberlain Herluf Zahle, and the building was inaugurated in the spring of 1940.

The property itself was damaged so badly during the war that for a period in the
spring of 1945 the embassy had to be led from a bunker immediately opposite the
building and with Danish employees without knowledge of diplomacy. After the
war, the embassy was transformed into a Danish military mission and moved to a
property in Grunewald, and the building on Rankestrasse lost its significance in
diplomacy.
However, during the construction, Hitler and Goering had wanted to furnish a
nearly 400 square meter apartment for the use of the Danish king Christian X
during a possible visit to Berlin. The room was called the King's Room, but
since Christian X for obvious reasons did not want to visit the state that had
occupied his, he has therefore never been in the building.
