U.S. Ambassador to West Germany

The U.S. Ambassador to West Germany was the official representative of the United States government to the Federal Republic of Germany during the period when Germany was divided into East and West (1949–1990). The ambassador served as a diplomatic envoy, fostering diplomatic relations, promoting American interests, and supporting cultural and economic ties between the two nations. This role involved working with the West German government, advising U.S. policymakers on regional issues, and helping strengthen the alliance during the Cold War era. The position ceased after Germany reunified in 1990, with the U.S. establishing a new diplomatic relationship with a unified Germany.
