The South African flag is being flown over the east wing of the Essberger building at Palmaille 45 in the Hamburg suburb of Altona. It is a sign that the building is home to the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of South Africa, represented by Honorary Consul Dr. Eberhart von Rantzau. Day-to-day business is dealt with by Mrs. Sylvia Bräkling-Stümer, who knows South Africa very well, having worked for Deutsche Afrika-Linien for many years.
As well as acting as a contact point, especially for visiting businessmen and -women from South Africa, and setting up appropriate business contacts, an honoraryconsul’s duties include providing advice and tips about South Africa to anyone who is interested.
