The real name was always the German State (Deutsches Reich), continuously from 1871 to 1945. There was never the "Third Reich" too.
And the seat of the government was in Berlin, except for like 2 weeks when they moved out to a suburb before the soldiers put down the pro-Bolshevik worker uprising in the capital (the Spartacus Revolution).
It's like of people kept referring to the Russian Federation as the "Belavezh Republic" or something.
The term was coined up by Hitler in 1929 and it's hilarious that everyone seem to (mis)use it, including the Wikipedos who otherwise insist on calling him a "Nazi" from the "Nazi Party".
That "revolution" was a really dumb affair, not unlike Hitler's later attempted coup. They had an emmissary from Lenin with them but didn't even let him organize things.

Ah now that is interesting, I didn't know about the Spartacus Revolution or that the Weiner Republic was a pretty bad name for the whole time period.
