Talk:Reich Chancellery

"Warlord"

I changed references to Hitler as 'Nazi warlord' to 'Nazi leader' - warlord has a specific (and perjorative) connotation. While I realise Hitler is fair game for stronger terms than that (!) I think it's irrelevant here. 80.43.82.9 12:19, 19 April 2007 (UTC) Ed

Spelling

Why "Chancellory" and not "Chancellery"? Ottens 20:46, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

the term is interchangeable as far as definition - it is a matter of preference as far as I have seen. unsigned comment by 70.93.73.173 21:38, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

I too would prefer to see the spelling chancellery. Though the other form (as well as yet others) are recognized as valid by the Oxford English Dictionary, I have never seen an English-language reference to this chancellery — the German Reichkanzlei — using any form other than chancellery.

I recently made several additions to the article and changed spelling to the form I preferred (as above), but did not go so far as to change the article title. JonRoma 03:18, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Reich Chancellory → Reich Chancellery – The form "chancellery" is considered by the Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, et al to be the "main" spelling, and all English-language material relating to this chancellery known to the proposer uses this form. — JonRoma 04:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Old Chancellery

This article needs some material about the Old Reich Chancellery further up the Wilhelmstrasse(1877-1939). Adam 05:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

This charming Russian neo-Nazi website has a large gallery of photos of the Chancellery. I'm a bit dubious about the ethics of linking to it, however. (And what a monstrosity it was - bravo the Russkis for blowing it up.) Adam 14:08, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Mentioning of irrelevant data is distracting

This article is about a building from the architect Albert Speer sr. Therefore the information "the later Armaments Minister and convicted war criminal" is irrelevant and distracting here, because it has nothing to do with the Old Chancellery. Who wants to know more about the person Speer can find this information in the article about him, which is the appropriate place for it. Mentioning that the architect later became convicted for war crimes is POV, because it defames him for reasons which have nothing to do with this activity. --Otto 18:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Merge of Voßstraße

I support this; it may provide an end to the silly eszett war. I would suggest that the compromise there employed be extended: that the street names follow English practice, which is normally Strasse, but the addresses be -straße with numeral, as befits a foreign word used in English.

I do not support a merge to Wilhelmstrasse, because that will not solve the problem. There the use of Wilhelmstrasse for the Foreign Ministry is sourced; perhaps it should be merged there. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:36, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Merge with German Chancellery

The majority of both articles discuss the buildings used by the office of the Chancellor of Germany, and it only seems logical that they should be merged, or at the very least referenced to each other.Zenithian (talk) 22:33, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

They are two completely separate complexes and therefore should not be merged, any more than we should merge say Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. 01:21, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

There is a third Reich Chancellery: Kleine Reichskanzlei at Berchtesgaden.
