The German Government remains concerned about the possibility of terrorist attacks in Germany. Germany remains a target of terrorists, one example being a suitcase bomb attack on regional trains in Cologne in July 2006, which failed when the devices did not explode. Other planned attacks have been successfully prevented by German authorities.
New Zealanders in Germany are advised to be security conscious at all times and monitor the local media for any information on potential threats to safety. We advise you to follow any advice issued by the local authorities.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in Germany should have comprehensive medical and travel insurance policies in place.
New Zealanders travelling or residing in Germany are encouraged to register their details with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
