Best Answer

The question is a little vague. The first ever president of Germany was Reichspresident Friedrich Ebert (born 4 February 1871 in Heidelberg, died 28 February 1925 in Berlin) who held the office from 11 February 1919 - 28 February 1925 (died in office).

The last Reichspresident was Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg (born 2 October 1847 in Posen, died 2 August 1934 at Gut Neudeck estate, East Prussia) who held the office from 26 April 1925 - 2 August 1934 (died in office).

The first post-war president of Germany (Bundespäsident)was Theodor Heuss (born 31 January 1884 in Brackenheim, died 12 December 1963 in Stuttgart) who held the office from 13 September 1949 - 12 September 1959.

The last Bundespäsident was Horst Köhler(born 22 February 1943 in Skierbieszów, Poland), who held the office from 1 July 2004 - 31 May 2010.

Köhler was forced to resign from the office following criticism of comments he made regarding Germany's involvement in Afghanistan.

Who was president of germany after Adolf Hitler killed himself?

The President of Germany after Hitler's suicide was Karl Dönitz, who was the highest ranking admiral in the German Navy. Unfortunately for Karl, Germany was almost entirely occupied by the Allies, so all he really controlled was the town that he was in, Flensburg, which is not far from Germany's border with Denmark. He surrendered to the Allies a week after becoming President, ending Germany's part in World War II. Dönitz's tenure as President ended almost three weeks later.After Dönitz's Presidency, there was no President until 1949 because Germany was occupied by the victorious Allies after the war. By 1949, Germany had been split into East Germany and West Germany, and each had their own separate government. East Germany's first (and last) President was Wilhelm Pieck; Theodor Heuss was West Germany's first President.It should be noted that Hitler was never technically President of Germany- he was Chancellor starting in January 1933. When President Hindenburg died in August 1934, no new President was elected; Hitler simply created a new position, Führer(German for "leader") which added the powers of the President to those of the Chancellor, which he already had.
