Did the German Government have a cabinet? I've been looking online and I know about the Bundesrat, the Reichstag, and the chancellor, and how they related to the Emperor, but I can't find anything about a cabinet or something like that.
However, I remember a Monty Python sketch where the German government fell off of a Zeppelin into someone's house and he and his wife were attempting to organize the bodies, and had an argument as to wether the minister of colonies was an internal or external minister.
I need answers but not for a few months.

Also, if anyone knew the positions/titles they held, or knows of a list online, that'd be great.

Yes, the German government had a cabinet appointed by the chancellor with the consent of the emperor. They mostly performed their functions like ministers in most countries and followed the orders of the chancellor.

Is the final cabinet in its final form. The titles and positions are like you'd expect from most any country.

Thanks man. Do you know what cabinet directly preceded this one?

That's be the Hertling cabinet. Both it and the Baden cabinet are interesting because they were the only two cabinets formed in consultation with the parties that had majorities in the Reichstag. Before then, the cabinets had essentially zero connection to the democratically elected body.

Cool, are the cabinets named after the chancellor they advise?

Mhm! Just like in most modern governments.
