The Reich Postal Ministry (German: Reichspostministerium, RPM) in Berlin was the Ministry in charge of the Mail and the Telecommunications of the German Weimar Republic from 1919 until 1933 as well as of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. After the Second World War, the Federal Ministry for Post and Telecommunications in West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany) and the Ministry for Post and Telecommunications in East Germany (German Democratic Republic) took over the postal system in their respective nations.
Especially during the Nazi era, the Ministry had authority over research and development departments in the areas of television engineering, high-frequency technology, cable (wide-band) transmission, metrology, and acoustics (microphone technology).
