German consulate in Marietta
Germany keeps no office in Marietta. For anything consular, the city belongs to the district of Atlanta.
Marietta
Consular districts in the United States are fixed and published, so there is no choosing between missions. Georgia belongs to Atlanta.
The drive from Marietta to Atlanta is 19 miles and around 26 min on an empty road. Add to that for the time of day you travel.
The city lies in Cobb County. That makes it the 5th furthest of the 6 cities we list in Georgia.
Georgia has honorary consuls at Charleston. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.
Other cities in Georgia with a page of their own: Stone Mountain (16 mi), Augusta (149 mi), Columbus (109 mi), Lawrenceville (31 mi), Savannah (249 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Georgia page.
What you can settle without travelling
Part of what people travel for is settled by post or online.
- Apply for a visa you may not need: a US passport gets you 90 days in Germany without one
- Find out whether you are German at all: the dates of your family's emigration decide it, and you can work that out from your own records before anyone books an appointment
- Track a passport that is already in progress: it is printed in Berlin and the six to eight weeks are set there, not at the counter that took your application
