Nordic Embassies Berlin

The Nordic Embassies Berlin are the diplomatic missions of the Nordic countries to Germany, located in a common building complex, the "Pan Nordic Building", in Berlin. The building complex was designed by the architects Alfred Berger and Tiina Parkkinen and completed in 1999.

The building comprises 6 individual buildings enveloped by a green, copper clad, snaking wall. Of the six buildings five are the embassies of Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland, arranged geographically. The remaining building is a communal building called the Felleshuse, which includes the entrance to the complex, an auditorium and a canteen.
