=== City President of Berlin (1935–1945) ===
The Nazi government introduced a new unitary municipal ordinance for all German municipalities and cities accounting for the de facto abolition of municipal democracy and autonomy since the Nazi takeover in 1933. According to the new ordinance the administrative head of the city was now titled ''Stadtpräsident'' (City President). The ''Oberbürgermeister'' remained in a ceremonial role.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Louise Schroeder replaced the Lord Mayor-elect Ernst Reuter, who was barred by Soviet veto.
  2. ^ Ferdinand Friedensburg was acting Lord Mayor of Great Berlin due to the illness of acting Lord Mayor Louise Schroeder during the Berlin Blockade in 1948. Schröder resumed her duties on 1 December 1948 and continued until Ernst Reuter was elected on 7 December 1948.
