context_page_description: The relations between Brazil and Germany are the diplomatic relations between the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Federal Republic of Germany. Brazil has an embassy in Berlin and consulates in Frankfurt and Munich, and Germany has an embassy in Brasília and consulates in Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
context_section_description: Bilateral relations between the two countries date back to 1824, when German settlers established in Brazil, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. In 1825 Prussia recognized Brazilian independence, and in 1826 the Brazilian Consulate was established in Hamburg .
  In 1859, Prussia proclaimed the Heydt Rescript forbidding the propaganda for immigration to Brazil because of the mistreatment of German settlers in the province of São Paulo. The rescript was unfavorable for potential emigrants in Prussia and, from 1871, in all Germany. The decree was revoked only in 1896. In 1900, José Paranhos, Baron of Rio Branco, is named as envoy to Berlin.
