the original German Consulate, is the earliest foreign affairs agency of Ji'nan,
in the northwest of the two weft intersection, and the old site of the German Consulate in Ji'nan relative to the Edward bank.
in 1902, the Qing government decided to set up a Ji'nan office in Germany, with the role of the consular agency as the earliest foreign affairs institution in Ji'nan. At that time, the Qing government had politely refused to set up a consulate in Ji'nan. In 1905, under the German government, German merchant Beth raised the German flag and suspended the plaque in his villa and claimed to establish a consulate.
the consulate is divided into two East and West buildings, the West building is the consular office and the mansion, and the two floor is the attic, which is a typical Germanic villa. The East Tower is an office and staff dormitory, with two stories and three sections, double slope red tile roofing.
the status of this consulate has been changed by the density of relations between China and Germany. In March 1917, the museum was cancelled because of the interruption of diplomatic relations between China and Germany in the first World War. In May 1922, with the signing of the Treaty of diplomatic relations and trade between the two countries, the consulate also resumed. In May 1945, because of the defeat of Germany in World War II, the museum was revoked again. In November of the same year, the government of the Shandong province received the house in the Ministry of foreign affairs of the Republic of China. All of them were returned to the country.
today, the former German Consulate is located in the former Ji'nan municipal government hospital as the office space. Passing through the doorway, this white wall red roofed Germanic architecture still makes people unable to resist looking back.
