Kanzleramt

Former Federal Chancellery, Bonn, 1976-99

The Chancellor's Office (Chancellery) (in German, Bundeskanzleramt, or more commonly Kanzleramt) is the office of the Chancellor, the head of the German federal government (Bundesregierung). The chief of the Chancellery (Chef des Bundeskanzleramtes) holds the rank of either a state secretary (Staatssekretär) or a federal minister (Bundesminister). The chief's primary function is to assist the Chancellor in coordinating the activities of the Federal Government. Despite this important position in the German political system, the Chancellery and its chief largely work in the background and have little public attention. The current chief of the Chancellery is Thomas de Maizière. Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 800 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (3264 × 2448 pixels, file size: 2. ...

The Chancellery is also the name of the building that houses the personal offices of the Chancellor and the Chancellery staff. From 1949 to 1999, the Chancellery, along with the rest of the federal administration, was situated in Bonn. The Palais Schaumburg was originally used until the construction of a new Chancellery building in 1976. In the summer of 1999, as part of the German government's move to Berlin, the Chancellery was temporarily housed in the former GDR State Council building (Staatsratsgebäude) in eastern Berlin as the new Chancellery building was not yet finished at the time. The current Chancellery building (opened in the spring of 2001) was built of concrete and glass in an essentially postmodern style, though some elements of modernist style are evident. Occupying 12,000 square meters (129,166 square feet), it is also one of the largest government headquarters buildings in the world. By comparison, the new Chancellery building is eight times the size of the White House.^[1], though it should be noted that a large part of the White House staff is not located in the actual White House building, but in the neighbouring Old Executive Office Building.

Heads of the Chancellery since 1950

Directors of the Chancellery attend Cabinet meetings. They may also sit as members of the Cabinet if they are also given the position of Minister for Special Affairs (Minister für besondere Aufgaben), similar to that of Minister without Portfolio in some other countries. They are often incorrectly called "Kanzleramtsminister" (chancellery minister). A Minister without Portfolio is a government minister with no specific responsibilities. ...
