You can use the babel \addto mechanism

e.g.

\addto\captionsgerman{\renewcommand{\chaptername}{}}

In this case you have to modify \@makechapterhead itself

In report.cls :

\def\@makechapterhead#1{%
  \vspace*{50\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@ \raggedright \normalfont
    \ifnum \c at secnumdepth >\m at ne
        \huge\bfseries \@chapapp\space \thechapter
        \par\nobreak
        \vskip 20\p@
    \fi
    \interlinepenalty\@M
    \Huge \bfseries #1\par\nobreak
    \vskip 40\p@
  }}

So try in your document something like :

\makeatletter
\def\@makechapterhead#1{%
  \vspace*{50\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@ \raggedright \normalfont
    \ifnum \c at secnumdepth >\m at ne
       \def\@tempa{\thechapter\space}
\else\let\@tempa\relax
    \fi
    \interlinepenalty\@M
    \Huge \bfseries\@tempa #1\par\nobreak
    \vskip 40\p@
  }}
\makeatother

Beware, if you have headings, you have also to redefine \chaptername (with
babel \addto mechanism), or to say \let\@chapapp\relax (not exactly the same
because \@chapapp may be \chaptername, or appendix name, or...)
