GENUINE PIECE OF
THE WORK STONE
THAT ONCE COVERED

FACE OF THE
REICHSCHANCELLERY
OF GERMANY’S
23RD CHANCELLOR,
ADOLF HITLER
Work Stone (micacious tonalite) quarried in the Frankische Jura
On 11 January 1938 German Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler approached architect Albert Speer and assigned him the task of designing and building a new Reichskanzlei (Reichschancellery) along the entire north side of Voßstraße from Wilhelmsplatz to Hermann-Göring-Straße in Berlin. Incredibly, Professor Speer finished the enormous project in just under one year’s time!
For facing stone on the entrances and center section of the front of the building on the Voßstraße side, Speer chose Work Stone (micacious tonalite) quarried in the Frankische Jura in central Germany. This stone “glows” with a beautiful golden-grey color in sunlight. Unfortunately, the Russians tore this extraordinary building down in the summer of 1949.

This is a genuine slice of that stone, cut from an original slab of the Work Stone that Speer used to cover the center-front of the Hitler Reichschancellery in Berlin.
