  • The Reich Chancellery and Führerbunker Complex: An Illustrated History of the Seat of the Nazi Regime by Steven Lehrer recounts the history of a group of Berlin buildings, from their construction in the 18th century until their complete destruction during and after World War II. King Frederick William I of Prussia built the Palais Schulenburg, at Wilhelmstraße 77, for his esteemed Lieutenant General Count Adolph Friedrich von der Schulenburg. Later the Palais had a more distinguished owner, Prince Anton Radziwill, a Polish-Lithuanian and Prussian nobleman, aristocrat, musician and politician. A guest at the Palais Radziwill was Polish composer and virtuoso pianist Frédéric Chopin. During the Napoleonic Wars, Marshal Victor, the French Governor in Berlin, occupied the Palais. In 1875 the feuding Radziwill heirs sold the Palais to the German Reich. It became the Reichskanzlerpalais, the Chancellery of Otto von Bismarck and subsequent German Chancellors, the last being Adolf Hitler. Though Hitler lived in the old Chancellery when he was in Berlin, he ordered the building of a larger, grander structure, the New Reich Chancellery, completed January 1939. Hitler’s Reich Chancellery was not only a center of government but, in Winston Churchill’s words, the hub of “a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime.” In April 1945, as the Soviet Army closed in, Hitler and his mistress, Eva Braun, committed suicide together in the Führerbunker which Hitler had built under the Chancellery garden.
