Croatians form the 6th largest ethnic minority in Germany. The Croatian Embassy estimated that there were about 350,000 Croatians and their descendants living in Germany in 2014. Therefore, the embassy’s role in Berlin is important. In addition to the embassy in Berlin, Croatia has seven other representations in Germany. These representations include consulates in Dresden, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Mainz, Munich, and Stuttgart.
