German consulate in Baton Rouge
There is no German consulate in Baton Rouge. The mission that covers the city is the Consulate General in Houston.
Baton Rouge
Consular districts in the United States are fixed and published, so there is no choosing between missions. Louisiana belongs to Houston.
Baton Rouge is 275 miles from Houston, about 5 h 11 min of driving at posted speed limits and with no traffic. A real journey takes longer than that.
The city lies in East Baton Rouge Parish County.
Louisiana has honorary consuls at New Orleans. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.
Other cities in Louisiana with a page of their own: Shreveport (249 mi).

What you can settle without travelling
Before working out the journey, check what can be done from home.
- 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
