History

The German Information Center USA was established in 1961 in New York City. At the time, New York was considered the most important media hub in the United States, a role gradually taken over by the capital, Washington, D.C. In July 2003, therefore, the German Information Center USA moved its offices to Washington, D.C., bringing together its special expertise in public diplomacy with that of the Embassy's cultural and press sections to better serve Americans with an interest in today's Germany .
