Reichsrat (Reichstag) (1)

Location: The Reichsrat had it’s gatherings inside a room of the building of the Reichstag.

Today: not sure about the exact room

On February 2, 1933 Hitler spoke for the Reichsrat. The Reichsrat was a legislative body in Germany under the Weimar constitution. All German states were represented in it. The Reichsrat could veto the Reichstag’s bills; but the Reichstag could overrule the veto. The Reichsrat remained very powerful, because a majority of two-thirds in the Reichstag was needed to overrule veto’s and the Reichstag had too many different parties. After 1933 the Reichsrat was deprived of its powers and later formally abolished.

Führerbunker (9), (27)
Location: Crossing and parking space of In der Ministergarten and the Gertrud-Kolmar-Strasse. Underneath it are the remains of the Führerbunker.
Today: Even in the ground there’s not much more left of the bunker than the ground plate and parts of the wall.
In the garden of the new and old Reichskanzlei a double bunker was built: the Vorbunker and, on a lower level, the Führerbunker. Hitler spend the last period of his life inside the Führerbunker. He married Eva Braun there and both of them commited suïcide there. What happened to the bodies is not clear. On this website you’ll find some places where Russian sources state the bodies have been burried. A small but accurate book about the Führerbunker is Sven Felix Kellerhoff’s Mythos Führerbunker. There never was any information on site about the bunker, but since 2006

Reichstag (1)
Location: Platz der Republik 1
Today: still there, since 1999 the German parliament seats there again
Just a month after Hitler took over Germany the Reichtag burned down. It was set to fire by the Dutch communist Marinus van der Lubbe. After that the gatherings of parliament were held at the Kroll Oper, a building opposite to the Reichstag. At the end of the war the fighting over the Reichstag was very heavy. After the war the building had to be renovated.

The government district in Berlin was located at the Wilhelmstrasse. This page shows the most prominent Hitler sites in the area between the Reichstag (North), the Niederkirchner Strasse (South), the Tiergarten (West) and the Mauerstrasse (East), together with some information about Albert Speers plans for the remake of Berlin: Germania.

Germania, Großen Halle (3), (24), (25), (26)

Location: Platz der Republik (than called Königsplatz), next to the Reichstag

Today: the Großen Halle (Great Hall) was never realised

Adolf Hitler and Albert Speer had great plans with Berlin. An impressive road with large buildings had to run from the Platz der Republik to the General-Pape-Strasse. On the Platz der Republik a very large building, the Great Hall, was to be built. At the location where a bridge between the Dudenstrasse and the Kolonnenstraße is today an Arc de Triomphe was to be built. At the end of the road, somewhere in the area of the General-Pape-Strasse, a large station (South Station) had to arise. Although building had begun, for instance in the Reichstag-area, and families were already forced to leave their houses, not much of the plan was realised. Today for instance the changed location of the Siegessäule and the heavy load testing body on the corner of the General-Pape-Straße and the Löwenhardtdamm remind of the plans.

This scale model, made for the movie Der Untergang, was part of a temporary exhibition called Mythos Germania in Berlin, near the Voßstrasse. The Great Hall is the large building in the centre.

Hotel Adlon (6)
Location: Unter den Linden 75-77
Today: severely dammaged in the war and demolished after the war. Rebuilt and reopened in 1997.
Another hotel, the hotel Kaiserhof, was the most prominent nazi-hotel in Berlin. After it got bombed in 1943, the Hotel Adlon, that actually was the most luxurious hotel in the city, became more of a meeting point of prominent nazi’s.

Hitler’s remains (27)
Location: Garden New Reichskanzlei, crossing of In der Ministergarten and the Gertrud-Kolmar-Strasse
Today: There’s a road now on the location where the bodies might have been burried in April 1945.
There’s always been a lot of discussion about the remains of Hitler (and Eva Braun). There’s a list of alleged locations of Hitler graves, mostly consisting of Russian SMERSH-compounds, that seems to be accurate. It seems that the bodies of Hitler, Braun and the family Goebbels were moved several times. Hitlers body was burned near Schönebeck and the remains were thrown into a river near Biederitz. Some remains were taken to Moscow. The other version, in which Hitlers body was never found, seems very likely too, maybe even more than the other story.
The basic story here is that the bodies of Hitler and Braun were on fire for a day on a piece of ground that was under permanent fire. After the shooting had stopped there were lots of dead bodies in the garden of the Reichskanzlei. The bodies of Hitler and Braun were never found. The story that the skull of Hitler in Moscow was actually the skull of a woman, isn’t that surprising, when you consider what the garden must have looked like.

The locations where Hitler was burried according to Russian sources:
1. Berlin, Garden Reichskanzlei
2. Berlin-Buch (Berlin), pathology clinic
3. Finow (Brandenburg), norteast of Berlin
4. Rathenow (Brandenburg), west of Berlin
5. Magdeburg (Sachsen-Anhalt), East-Germany
6. Schönebeck (Sachsen-Anhalt)
7. Biederitz (Sachsen-Anhalt), Ehle river, where the ashes have been scattered. Some parts of the remains of Hitlers body are said to be still in possession of the Russian government. Like the teath and the skull of Hitler. Recently the news came that the skull was not Hitlers, but the skull of a woman. There is a tv-documentary in wich the Russians present the material they were willing to show, like the teath of Hitler, his uniforms and the leg-prothese of Goebbels.

Old Reichskanzlei (10)
Location: Wilhelmstrasse 77
Today: apartment buildings
The old Reichskanzlei was built in 1738-1739. In 1869 Bismarck bought it and turned it into a building of the Prusian Government. After 1878 Bismarck made the building his Residence and called it Reichskanzlei. Von Hindenburg lived here when the Reichspräsidentenpalais was renovated in 1932/1933. In 1934-1935 the building was renovated because Hitler was going to use it. The building had an extension that may look like it was part of the New Reichskanzlei. But it was already there. When Hitler first came to power it didn’t have a balcony. A balcony was placed on the Wilhelmstrasse side later. Famous pictures of Hitler looking at the crowds in 1940 show him on that balcony. The building was severely damaged at the end of the war and demolished after the war.
Behind the old Chancellry was the Führerbunker. The location of the bunker is on the other side of the buildings (see Führerbunker).
On February 15, 1933 Hitler spoke to members of the Kriegopferverbände in the Reichskanzlei. On May 17 of that year he held a speech about foreign politics. Other dates of speeches at the Reichskanzlei: January 22, 1934; January 30, 1934; February 30, 1934; March 22, 1934; April 17, 1934; May 30, 1934; November 14, 1934; December 18, 1934 (for policemen); March 28, 1935; April 3, 1935 (for the Winterhilfswerk); May 1, 1935 (for representatives of the Gauen of Germany); May 2, 1935 (about the International Filmkongress); July 15, 1935 (for a delegation of a British army legion); May 5, 1936; May 27, 1936; June 9, 1936 (for a delegation of the 6. Internationalen Gemeindekongress); August 1, 1936 (to the International Olympic Committee on the day the Olympuc Games were opened); February 4 and 7, 1937; April 16, 1937 (Winterhilfswerk); June 28, 1937 (for members of the international Handelskammer); September 27, 1937 (visit Mussolini); November 5, 1937; December 17, 1937; March 16, 1938 (Hitler held a speech from the Reichskanzlei balcony); August 24, 1938 (Hitler and Horthy had diner at the Reichskanzlei).

New Reichskanzlei (11)
Location: Voßstrasse 2- 6 (from the Ebertstrasse to the Wilhelmstrasse)
Today: Parking space and modern buildings. On the side of the Wilhelmstrasse are apartments.
The Reichskanzlei was built by Albert Speer. After three years of work it was ready in 1939. The building was made to impress the visitors: its marble gallery was 146 meters long and Hitlers office was about 400 square meters. There was only one building on the northside of the Voßstrasse: the Reichskanzlei. The Kanzlei was badly damaged at the end of the war. After the war the Soviets demolished the ruïns. Material from the Reichskanzlei was used to build war memorials on the Strasse des 17. Juni, in the Treptow Park and the material was alo inside the U-Bahn-station Mohrenstrasse.
In the beginning of 1939 Hitler held different speeches inside the Reichskanzlei. On January 12 (for several diplomats); January 14 (for Reichs- and Gauleaders); January 18 (for young officers of the Wehrmacht); January 25 (for high placed members of the Wehrmacht); and on February 10 (for other commanders of the army). Untill May 1, 1939 different speeches were held there. After that the speeches at this location became less frequent. In fact 1939 was the last year Hitler spoke in public regularly. For instance: In 1938 he spoke in public at least 90 times, but in 1940 that number dropped to about 10. On October 15 and November 14 1940 Hitler did speak at the new Reichkanzlei, though. In 1942, on February 12, he held a speech to remember Dr. Fritz Todt, who had died in a plane crash. On June 4, 1942 Reinhard Heydrich was killed. Hitler held a speech to remember him on June the 9th of that year. (The car in which Heydrich was shot can be found at the Military Technical Museum of the Military Historical Institute in Prague.) On May 7, 1943 Hitler held another speech for a nazi that had died. This time it was SA-Stabschef Lutze. The last two speeches Hitler ever held, took place at the new Reichskanzlei: On January 30, 1945 he did a radio speech and on February 24 he spoke for Reichs- and Gauleaders.

Today: The building is still there. It’s the ministry of finance now.
Görings Air Ministry building was at the time it was built the largest office building in Europe. It was ready in 1936 and it is still a good exemple of nazi-architecture. Ernst Sagebiel, who was also responsable for the building of Airport Tempelhof, designed the building. The Air Ministry was one of the few public buildings in Berlin that wasn’t bedly damaged in the war.
