This is a very good original example of the magnificent oversized book on the New Reichschancellery Professor Albert Speer built for Germany's 23rd Chancellor, Adolf Hitler, in Berlin in 1938.

The very heavily illustrated hardbound book measures 11-1/2 x 14-1/2 inches, has over 130 pages including many views and sections of the enormous building, some as large as 14 x 36 inches!

This example is from the Fourth Printing of 9,000 copies from the print run of 41,000 to 50,000.

The book was reprinted several times in different editions during the Third Reich, but the color printing and the war-time paper in later printings were inferior to the materials used in the first, second, third and fourth edition.

Hitler's New German State Chancellery in Berlin was huge in scale and grand in concept and excecution. It was a full city block long with three floors above ground in some places and it had many bunkers beneath it.

This is the best overview of any ever made of the New Reichschancellery that architect Albert Speer designed and built in Berlin, Germany in 1938. The only principal tenant the building ever had during its short 75 month life was Germany’s 23rd Chancellor, Adolf Hitler.

In text and photographs this book begins with the political concept and need for a new German Reichschancellery, as well as the long term plan for Hitler's Berlin. It carries on through the design and construction that provided for the offices, the housing for administrators, office staff, and the SS staff required on-site.

This example of Die Neue Reichskanzlei is complete and in nice used condition. The huge (over 3 feet long!) original fold out architectural drawing of the Reichschancellery (photo above) is still in the back of this nearly 70 year old book.
