The office building of the German consulate was built in 1905. Before the consulate was built, the German consulate was entrusted to the British consulate as an agent. In 1902, the German consulate was stationed in Beihai and temporarily used the office of the tax company. After the office building was completed in 1905, it moved into the new building and acted as an agent for Haikou consular affairs in Hainan. In 1908, the German consulate was withdrawn, and the house was sold to others. It is now used as an office building by Beihai Industrial and Commercial Bank. It was announced as a cultural relics protection unit in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 1994. On June 25, 2001, the State Council announced it as a national key cultural relics protection unit, which is an important material evidence for the German consulate in Beihai.
