The Soviet Union rejected the originally planned seat, the former Reich Aviation Ministry on Leipziger Straße in the Mitte district (along with every other proposed location in the Soviet sector). The Allied Control Council for Germany met 82 times before the Soviet Union walked out of the council on 20 March 1948. The principle of unanimity prevailed. Between meetings, the coordinating committee and control staff with 12 directors managed the work. Not a German executive body.
