Chancellors of united Germany

This list may be misleading because chancellors of West Germany (1949-90) are also included. It makes sense to also have a direct comparison between all chancellors of united Germany (before 1945 and since 1990). Helmut Kohl would thus only be counted with his eight years in unified Germany. Otherwise why not include Walter Ulbricht and Erich Honecker of East Germany as well? Yes, they were not called chancellors but that is after all just a title.--2003:E2:AF41:E790:D99A:34F6:8308:643 (talk) 15:43, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Walter Ulbricht and Erich Honecker never (formally) served as heads of governments though. The equivalent position to Chancellor in East Germany was the Chairman of the Council of Ministers. You would need to include holders of that office, such as Otto Grotewohl or Willi Stoph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.179.78.98 (talk) 16:59, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Until Brandt recognized it in 1973, most of the world considered the RiGHTFUL government of Germany to be the Western Federal Repubic. When the DDR (when a country has the word "Democratic" in its name, you know it's not.) dissolved, it joined the federal republic, hence the chancellors were the only chancellors of GermanyArglebargle79 (talk) 13:16, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Time in office

The list is by time in office. It wasn't, so I changed it. 13:16, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Dates in office

I think the dates of service for each chancellor would be a good addition to this list for historical context. Catan0nymous (talk) 15:25, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
