Rulers
The line of president of Germany - the office this state names as its head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Friedrich Ebert | 1919 – 1925 | 6 years | died in office of natural causesWikidata's manner of death | |
| Paul von Hindenburg | 1925 – 1934 | 9 years | died in office of natural causesWikidata's manner of death | |
| Adolf Hitler | 1934 – 1945 | 11 years | died by suicideWikidata's manner of death |
3 rulers, 3 with terms dated as terms, covering 1919 – 1945. Only 26 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 2 of 2 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
