About
the Honorarkonsu
There
has been a representative of Germany in Cincinnati, Ohio, ever since
1847. Back then, the Consul served the needs of an emerging German-American
community in the city. Over the years, there have been many changes
and ups-and-downs affecting Germany's foreign relations to the United
States of America and Cincinnati, but diplomatic ties have continued.
Since World War II, Honorary Consuls have served the interests of Germany
in the Greater Cincinnati and Tristate area.
The current Honorary
Consul is Richard E. Schade, Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures,
University of Cincinnati. Schade is a German-American who was educated
at the University of New Hampshire and Yale University. During his academic
career he has studied at German universities in Marburg and Tübingen.
He frequently visits Germany professionally and is, of course, fluent
in the German language. For an academic profile, visit his faculty
