Estonia–Germany relations (Estonian: Eesti-Saksamaa suhted; German: Estnisch-deutsche Beziehungen) are foreign relations between Estonia and Germany. Estonia has an embassy in Berlin. Germany has an embassy in Tallinn. Both countries are full members of the European Union, NATO, OECD, OSCE, Council of Europe, Council of the Baltic Sea States, HELCOM and WTO.

History

During the final stages of World War I, Estonia was occupied by Germany, shortly after the Estonian Declaration of Independence of 24 February 1918. Germany first recognised Estonia's independence on 9 July 1921.

In 1939, Germany signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact with the Soviet Union, which allowed the Soviet invasion of Estonia in 1940 during World War II. From 1941 to 1944 Germany occupied Estonia. Both countries re-established diplomatic relations on 28 August 1991.[1]

Military cooperation

The German Air Force takes part in the NATO Baltic Air Policing mission to guard the airspace over the Baltic states including Estonia.
