The consulate in Leipzig is the oldest consular representation of Russia in Germany. Last year marked the 240th anniversary of the consulate's opening. Now it has been closed at the end of 2023.

History of the Russian consulate in Leipzig

The Russian consulate in Leipzig was opened on March 30, 1783 on the orders of Tsarina Catherine II. It was the first foreign consular institution in the Saxon trade fair, trade, science and culture city. The first Russian consul in Leipzig was collegiate assessor Fyodor Saposchnikov (1749-1789). It served to promote the development of trade and scientific relations between Russia and Saxony and beyond with Germany.

From July 10, 1812, the Russian Foreign Ministry suspended the consulate's activities for a long period of time due to the war with Napoleon. It was not until July 9, 1821 that Wilhelm von Freygang was again appointed consul in Leipzig.
