The Embassy
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a particular pleasure to welcome you on the website of the Austrian Embassy in London. The relations between Austria and the United Kingdom are manyfold, both bilaterally as well as in the framework of the European Union. Both countries have actively worked for many years for the enlargement of the European Union, which we see in the interest also of our two countries.
Great Britain is very important for Austria - this pertains not only to the global political situation, but also to the extraordinarily close bilateral economic and cultural relations.
The Austrian Embassy has, for a considerable period of time, placed particular importance on the assistance for many Austrians who, as victims of the Nazi terror, found a new home here. Austria provides compensation in a number of instances, if it is possible to talk about "compensation" at all in this regard.
I hope that the website of the Austrian Embassy in London will provide you with useful information and help in consular matters. If you have any further questions, the staff of the Austrian Embassy will be happy to be of assistance.
Gabriele Matzner-Holzer
Ambassador at the Austrian Embassy
