| The German ambassador to Chile |
The German Ambassador to Chile is Germany's representative to the South American nation of Chile.
Overview
In the 1970s and 80s, deep state contacts between Germany and Chile were often through the German citizen Paul Schäfer who founded Colonia Dignidad (Dignity Colony), a German enclave in the south of Chile, which collaborated with the deep state in violations of human rights after the 1973 coup.[1]
German diplomats visited the torture and rape colony Colonia Dignidad several times from the mid 1960s on. They didn't intervene, as they were obliged to do, until well into the 1980s, despite being familiar with the witness testimonies of escaped former residents and the reports on the torture from Amnesty International. The few people who managed to leave the colony got no help from the embassy; in fact, the embassy handed them back to the Colonia leadership, who brutally punished anyone who tried to flee.[2]
Even after Hartmut Hopp, the sect's doctor and Schäfer's right-hand man, faced torture allegations before a human rights commission at the German parliament in 1988, the prosecutor’s office in Bonn didn’t feel the need to seriously examine the role played by the Germans in Chile.[2]
