Encyclopedia: Reichspräsident

The Reichspräsident was the German head of state during the period of the 1919-1934 Weimar Republic and the title was later briefly revived in 1945. The German title Reichspräsident literally means "National President" (reich is an ambiguous German word that roughly means "country" or "realm", and which in this context means national or federal). However in English he was usually simply referred to, like the modern president (Bundespräsident), as the President of Germany
