Reichsministerium des Innern, buildings

I am seaching out about the above but getting lost. Maybe someone well educated could help me?

To start, this is what I have figured out, but is it correct (?); 1879 the Reichskanzleramt was transferred into das Reichsamt des Innern. When this in it's turn transferred into Reichsministerium des Innern 1919 (?) it moved to the Generalstabsgebäude at Königsplatz 6 from Wilhelmstrasse 74. In 1934 the Reichsministerium (under Wilhelm Frick, succeeded by Heinrich Himmler) merged with Preussischen Innenministerium (under the Innenminister since 1933, Hermann Göring) into Reichs- und Preussischen Ministerium des Innern.

Reichsministerium des Innern was, according to Traces of evil, https://www.tracesofevil.com/2010/01/re ... stapo.html, situated at Under den Linden 72-74. That building is gone but the annex, on the backside, to the ministerium is still there at Dorotheenstrasse 93.

Now, does anyone know if the (merged) ministerium after 1934 housed both Generalstabsgebäude and the building at Unter den Linden? During the whole war? Was there any change after the construction of the annex 1935-37? Did the ministerium kept it's full name, Reichs- und Preussischen Ministerium des Innern during the war? The full name is rarely used, I have noticed, but instead only Reichsministerium des Innern.

In 1936/37 the full name was Reichs- und Preussischen Ministerium des Innern, with Zentralabteilung and Abteilungen I,II,IV at Königsplatz 6.
Abteilungen V,VI,VII were at Under den Linden 72-74.

RFSS and Chief d. DP im Reichsministerium des Innern official address was Prinz-Albrecht-Straße 8.

Thanks a lot!! That sorted it out in detail.

But I've always thought Prinz Albrecht Strasse 8 was the adress of the Gestapo, while the RFSS housed no 9 (the former Hotel Prinz Albrecht).

I'm talking about official addresses of departments.

Great information, thanks!

That note, from where is it extracted?
