For Schengen visas (short-term stays up to a maximum duration of 90 days, category C):
The process of receiving applications for Schengen visas has been outsourced to an external Service Provider (TLScontact). All applications for Schengen visas must therefore be submitted through TLScontact (not at the Embassy) upon prior appointment only.

You can find the address of TLScontact here.
It will not be possible to submit your application directly to the German Embassy in Kampala in case TLScontact has no more availability. Requests for expedited Schengen visa appointments will be handled by TLScontact depending on their availability.
