Was Adolf Hitler a German President before or was he a German Emperor?
Scouring my long forgotten German history somewhat.

Kaiser Wilhelm was the Emperor during his time, and head of state. Would there have been a chancellor, which is head of government? It was an empire.

Adolf Hitler was at one point elected Chancellor, c.early-mid thirties, before the establishment of the government that he was then dictator of, from 1935ish(?) onwards? So, slightly in reverse?
(Thorny subject, maybe, and possibly Hanno can shed some light, offer some detail)


Currently, President of Germany holds the position of head of state, while Chancellor holds the position of head of government. Both elected positions, now.

An approximate parallel would be King Charles III being head of state, with the UK prime minister being head of government.
