The BND headquarters is located in central Berlin and is the world's largest intelligence headquarters.
Oh, how weird. They must have inherited that from the Stasi or something!
Just to be clear:
The new BND headquarters in Berlin, near the former Berlin Wall, was completed in 2017. At the official opening in February 2019, Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, made this statement: "In an often very confusing world, now, more urgently than ever, Germany needs a strong and efficient foreign intelligence service". At the time, some 4,000 employees were expected to work from this location, moving here from the former headquarters in Pullach, a suburb of Munich.[50] The agency's total number of employees, in Germany and other countries, was approximately 6,500.[51]
Surprising what a bunch of former nazi spies have grown into. That's how the BND started out, they were the division Fremde Heere Ost (Foreign Armies East), the part of Hitler's secret services tasked with spying on the Soviet Union. And after the war, the USA found that so useful that they went "yeah, keep up the good work."
Strangely nobody knows the name of the FRG’s secret police which functioned simultaneously as a CIA and FBI.
