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)
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)
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)
Walter Scheel was Chancellor briefly after Willy Brandt resigned. He should be added.Ericl (talk) 12:56, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
Scheidemann was Ministerpräsident. Bauer was Ministerpräsident and became Chancellor once the constitution came into force in August 1919.
As to the Ebert/Haase issue: Ebert did accept the office of Chancellor handed him by Max von Baden. he effectively was Chancellor only for a day, since the very next day the Council of the People's Deputies was created, headed by Ebert and Haase as co-chairmen. Haase resigned in late December 1918, making Ebert the sole chairman. So while he was the head of government, he was not really chancellor for that period. Haase certainly was not chancellor.Drow69 (talk) 15:44, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
