Germany has traditionally enjoyed a close partnership with Liechtenstein based on shared history and culture, as well as wide-ranging economic, political and personnel ties. Liechtenstein has an embassy in Berlin and honorary consulates in Frankfurt am Main, Munich and Hamburg. The German Ambassador in Switzerland is also accredited to Liechtenstein. There is a German Honorary Consul in Liechtenstein. Regular high-level contacts ensure ongoing exchange between the two governments. Cooperation is particularly close in the United Nations and other international organisations.

Alongside Switzerland, Germany is Liechtenstein’s most important trading and economic partner. An agreement on mutual assistance in tax matters in accordance with OECD standards entered into force in 2010, while a comprehensive double taxation agreement entered into force in 2012.

Cultural relations between the two countries are close and wide-ranging. Liechtenstein’s engagement in Germany is considerable and includes many years of presence at the Frankfurter Buchmesse - Frankfurt Book Fair, as well as intensive exchange with Berlin’s Treptow-Köpenick district.
