Daniel Kriener’s Biography
Daniel Kriener was born in Beirut, Lebanon, on October 18, 1960. He is the son of Heta and Gustav Adolf Kriener, the pastor of the foreign parish. He grew up in a cosmopolitan setting. His family encouraged an awareness of diversity and a global perspective, and he has five brothers.
After graduating from Wilhelm-Dörpfeld-Gymnasium in Wuppertal, Kriener volunteered for the Atonement Peace Services Campaign in Birmingham and Coventry Cathedral for two years as a community service project. This encounter piqued his interest in diplomacy and international affairs.
Kriener continued his studies by attending the Philipps University of Marburg, where he received his political science diploma in 1989. With a research fellowship at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, he advanced his education and career.
Kriener began his attaché training at the Foreign Office in Bonn in 1992, marking the beginning of his career in the Foreign Service.
He worked as a diplomat for many years, holding posts as a consul in Wroclaw, a consultant for the Baltic Sea Council and East Central Europe, and an embassy counsellor in Santiago de Chile.
Kriener became the Federal Republic of Germany’s ambassador to Caracas, Venezuela, in October 2018. His reign was not without controversy, though. The Venezuelan government branded him persona non grata in 2019 for allegedly meddling in their domestic affairs through his support of Juan Guaidó, the self-called interim president.
In July 2019, Kriener resumed his position in Caracas despite this setback. He moved to a new position as the German ambassador to Costa Rica in August 2022.
Kriener is a family-oriented person outside of his work life. He is married, has a kid, and no doubt looks to his family for comfort and support while he manages the ups and downs of a career in diplomacy.
