This square used to be round and along it were located the main elements of German statehood and government. The Reich Chancellery is located in the former palace of Shelenienburg. Near the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the already mentioned Ministry of Finance. During the reign of the National Socialists - the party of Hitler, another building was built for the State Chancellery, and the Ministry of Propaganda - the office of Joseph Goebbels - was housed in the historical building.
