Useful New App provides Information on Germany's Presence throughout the World

The German Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt), which is responsible for maintaining German relations with other countries as well as with international and supra-national organizations, is represented throughout the world. More than 230 embassies and consulates form a dense global network of information points.

Contrary to popular perception, the German Foreign Office does much more than merely maintaining political contacts with and between governments and parliaments. Given that Germany and its society are part of ever-growing and more and more complex international networks, the Foreign Office also promotes intensive worldwide interaction and exchange in relation to and in the fields of business, culture, science and technology, and the environment, to name but a few.

A new app for iPhone and Android devices now provides a detailed overview and comprehensive information on the services offered by and the opening hours of the worldwide establishments of the German Foreign Office. The app should prove particularly useful to those travelling the world to pursue business interests that have a German connection.

You can download the app for android devices here, and that for iPhones here.
