Talk:Chancellor of Germany (1949–present)

message: The English term Imperial Chancellor is ambigious because it could be The Empire's Chancellor (Reichskanzler) and The Emporer's Chancellor (Kaiserlicher Kanzler)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.177.41.37 (talk) 14:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

message: It is good to notice that you record Goebbels and Von Krosigk as successors to Hitler. However I have found one other person who occupied a position as head of government in Germany prior to the founding of the Federal Republic:
Hermann Pünder(CDU)Overall Director of the Administrative Council for Bizonia (U.S. and British Zones) 2 March 1948 - 20 September 1949
 Noel Ellis, Wellington NZ 28 March 2004
Hermann Pünder never was Chancellor of Germany. He was the head of a provisional government. He maybe should be included in the list, but not as chancellor. --Lothar 84.155.91.165 20:24, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

message: :When addressing former Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the current Chancellor Angela Merkel used the style "Werter Herr Bundeskanzler".
That would be interesting if the page ever said what that means (in English, seeing as this is the English Wikipedia). The best I can figure, it means "caretaker" or "guard". I would edit that in myself, if I knew what I was doing (with the language). -- Vystrix Nexoth 03:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Werter" as part of a salutation means "valued". Just an adjective to express appreciation (for his presence at the function, his work, or whatever).--134.130.4.46 16:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It just means "dear". Dear Chancellor Helmut Kohl. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.255.30.238 (talk) 13:48, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The standard adjective is wert, meaning valued, worthy, or dear. It is inflected depending on the position, gender, number, and case of the noun it is describing. Werter Herr Bundeskanzler or Werte Frau Bundeskanzler(in). samwaltz 18:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: is this chancellor even German?
she is a strong leader and so are many of the other past chancellors of Germany. But is it neccecery, given the very fact that she is Justin timberlakes sister in law.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.50.28 (talk) 17:51, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

message: If I'm not mistaken, Papen can't be registered as an independent, since he did belong to the Centre Party, and only left the party after being Chancellor, later joing the Nazis till the end of the war. lususromulus
Correction: he left it little before becoming Chancellor for avoiding expelling due to being more of a monarchist than of a Catholic Christian Democrat lususromulus  —Preceding undated comment was added at 21:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I believe that it is good to keep the old situation with BK and RK seperated. They belong to two different historical fields or eras, political systems and constitutions - and titles. And someone who wants to read about the BK might not be too interested in the RK. Furthermore, both articles are relatively long already and might become longer in future. Discussing about the continuity in German history helps us here, let us consider the needs of the readers. By the way, I do not believe that words like "nonsense" improve the quality of Wikipedia discussions.--Ziko (talk) 21:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I feel UweBayern that consensus has been reached regarding this situation. They are two separate things...your argument that we must have one article to cover four/five potential articles (I doubt the accuracy of such a claim anyway) rather than two to cover them does not hold. Indeed it seems to me that if you feel one article is better suited to cover all these distinct offices (not yet proven to be the case) then you must accept two does the job even better! The Federal Republic Chancellor is adequately covered. If the Reich article must be split then so be it...though again I doubt that is the case. Gavin (talk) 18:09, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Two different things

message: As there is, after a lengthy debate, no consensus to split the article, the stable situation (one article) should be restored. UweBayern (talk) 23:57, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: No consensus to split

message: I don't know why this was added in the first place, but Chancellors (or most other Heads of Government elected by a parliament) do not have term limits, as there is no such thing as terms in the sense of the US-Presidency e.g.
An elected chancellor remains chancellor until a successor is elected by parliament, the tenure is de facto independent from parliamentary elections as parliament can elect a new chancellor at any time it is in session.
Even if a chancellors tenure was related to parliamentary elections (which are held every 4 years), the term length would still differ due to the time the general election is scheduled, the day the new parliament actually convenes and how fast involved parties choose a new candidate - unlike the US-President, whos term is exactly 4 years long (Jan. 20th to Jan. 20th 4 years later). --84.177.35.134 (talk) 19:18, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The articles for other parliamentary democracies, such as the UK and Canada, do not specify a fixed term, either. --Boson (talk) 21:42, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Two articles? 

message: Whatever your beef is with the Reich -- I didn't read it all -- just want to point out that Bund and Reich were/are used as shorthands for the State, just as the Crown is in UK (usually for its treasury, the really important part). The official name of Weimar Republic was still Deutsches Reich and Reich has a lot of meanings not only empire. I believe it was the Reich article where I already added some musings about that. Der Bund is often seen in constitution for the Federal state and I'm not aware of any regional chancellors, these we call Ministerpräsident of whatever. --88.74.134.48 (talk) 09:21, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

message: The lemma suggests a predestined end of the period where Germany has a chancellor, like it’s waiting to change it to Chancellor of Germany (1949–2016). While this may come true surprisingly, I suggest to move the article to Chancellor of Germany (since 1949) or something similiar. -- Gohnarch░ 13:32, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
