The
Reich Chancellery was the traditional name of the office of the
Chancellor of Germany (then called
Reichskanzler) in the period of the
German Reich from 1871 to 1945. The Chancellery's seat from 1875 was the former city palace of Prince
Antoni Radziwill (1775–1833) on
Wilhelmstraße in
Berlin. Both the palace and a new Reich Chancellery building (completed in early 1939) were seriously damaged during World War II and subsequently demolished.
