Template talk:GermanChancellors

[edit] Ebert/Haase

Can someone explain the Friedrich Ebert / Hugo Haase thing? Chancellors simultaneously, or what? The Ebert article doesn't even mention Haase. The Haase article mentions them as co-chairmen of the SPD, but says nothing about co-chancellorship. - Jmabel | Talk 06:31, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Large recent change

I'm not sure I like this change, and in any case it is enormous to go without any discussion. Yes, it is more concise, but that concision is gained by massive removal of information. - Jmabel | Talk 20:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Friedrich Ebert

I can't really comprehend why is he (Ebert) in a so-called "Revolutionary Period"? I believe Germany has a chancellor when the country itself exists. We've got the Empire, the Republic, the Third Reich and the Federal Republic, which are all Germany but in different forms of government. But Revolutionary Period is no form of government at least in my opinion. Obviously I have misunderstood the whole point of that section in the template but I can't find my own mistake if there's a mistake. So can somebody explain that?! --Mortdefides (talk) 11:52, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Obviously nobody can... --Mortdefides (talk) 09:31, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

I've had a look. Ebert was proclaimed Reichskanzler by the last formal Chancellor of the Empire,Prince Maximilian of Baden. However, this was against the constitution, and it seems he never accepted the title, though he did take charge of the Council of the People's Deputies during the Revolutionary Period. Therefore I have removed him, as well as Lutz Graf Schwerin von Krosigk who was certainly never chancellor, from this template. --KarlFrei (talk) 09:10, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
