context_page_description: The Reich Chancellery was the traditional name of the office of the Chancellor of Germany in the period of the German Reich from 1878 to 1945. The Chancellery's seat, selected and prepared since 1875, was the former city palace of Prince Antoni Radziwiłł on Wilhelmstraße in Berlin. Both the palace and a new Reich Chancellery building were seriously damaged during World War II and subsequently demolished.
  Today the office of the German chancellor is usually called Kanzleramt, or more formally Bundeskanzleramt. The latter is also the name of the new seat of the Chancellor's Office, completed in 2001.
