As the colony of South Australia and City of Adelaide grew in importance as both an importer and exporter of goods from Europe, Australia and Asia and a destination for German migrants, various German states nominated consuls to act on the behalf of their governments and to assist citizens of their countries in the colony. There was also an expectation that economic ties would be formed, both for imports of people and goods, and exports. To this end, consuls often had there own business as shipping agents or import/export merchants, as well as a strong business network both in the colony, in the German shipping ports of Bremen and Hamburg and in the states they represented.

Usually these consuls were Germans and usually with birth or other link to the specific German country, but sometimes non-Germans also served. Below is a list of consuls identified to date, under each German country the represented, and where a German speaker was nominated as the consul for a non-German state. The dates represent the time periods where the independent state was still responsible for foreign diplomatic matters.
