Stara Kancelaria Rzeszy, Government building in central Berlin, Germany.
The Old Reich Chancellery occupied a rectangular palace with an inner courtyard and symmetrical wings on Wilhelmstrasse 77 in Berlin.
From 1875 to 1938, the building served as the official residence and workplace for German chancellors before the construction of the New Reich Chancellery.
Between 1795 and 1875, the palace functioned as a center for Polish musical, literary, and theatrical activities under Radziwill family ownership.
The Chancellor's residence on the upper floor contained the Grand Meeting Room, Chancellor's Office, and Chancellor's Library with administrative functions.
The structure sustained severe damage during the Battle of Berlin in 1945, leading to its complete demolition by Soviet authorities in 1949.
