'Reichskanzler' (Reich Chancellor) is made up of 'Reich' (empire) and 'Kanzler' (chancellor). The linking element '-s-' connects the two components; here, 'Reich' refers to the German Reich, whose government the chancellor headed.
Im Jahr 1871 wurde das Amt des Reichskanzlers eingerichtet.
The office of Reich Chancellor was established in 1871.
'Reichskanzler' (Reich Chancellor) occurs primarily in texts about history and political history. The title refers to a particular system of government and is therefore mostly used in the context of German history.
Im Geschichtsunterricht lasen wir einen Brief des damaligen Reichskanzlers.
In history class, we read a letter from the Reich Chancellor of the time.
Common phrases include 'zum Reichskanzler ernannt werden' (to be appointed Reich Chancellor), 'das Amt des Reichskanzlers' (the office of Reich Chancellor), and 'als Reichskanzler regieren' (to govern as Reich Chancellor). After 'des' (of the), the genitive form 'Reichskanzlers' is used.
Nach seiner Ernennung zum Reichskanzler stellte er sein neues Kabinett vor.
After his appointment as Reich Chancellor, he presented his new cabinet.
