The German Federal Chancellery ((ドイツ語:Bundeskanzleramt)) is a federal agency serving the executive office of the Chancellor, the head of the German federal government, currently Angela Merkel. The Chancellery's primary function is to assist the Chancellor in coordinating the activities of the federal government. The chief of the Chancellery (''Chef des Bundeskanzleramtes'') holds the rank of either a Secretary of State ''(Staatssekretär)'' or a Federal Minister ''(Bundesminister)'', currently held by Peter Altmaier. ''Bundeskanzleramt'' is also the name of the building in Berlin that houses the personal offices of the Chancellor and the Chancellery staff. Palais Schaumburg in Bonn is the secondary official seat of the German Federal Chancellory. The Berlin Chancellery is one of the largest government headquarters buildings in the world. By comparison, the new Chancellery building is ten times the size of the White House. == History == ;Berlin 1871–1945: The Chancellery was established in 1871 as the ''Reichskanzlei'' (Imperial Chancellery) of the German Empire and originally had its seat in the Radziwiłł Palace (also known as ''Reichskanzlerpalais''), originally built by Prince Antoni Radziwiłł on Wilhelmstraße 77 in Berlin. In 1938–39, the ''Neue Reichskanzlei'' (New Imperial Chancellery), designed by Albert Speer, was built; its main entrance was located at Voßstraße 6, while the building occupied the entire northern side of the street. It was damaged during World War II and later demolished by Soviet occupation forces. ;Bonn 1949–1999: After the war, Bonn became seat of the West German government and the Chancellery (now known as the ''Bundeskanzleramt'' — Chancellor's Office) moved into ''Palais Schaumburg'' until a new Chancellery building was completed in 1976. The ''new West German Chancellery building'' was a black structure completed in the International Style, in an unassuming example of modernism. A separate building ''Kanzlerbungalow'' in Bonn served as a private apartment/residence of the Chancellor and his family 1964-1999. ;Berlin 1999–2001: 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)'' as the new Chancellery building was not yet finished at the time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「German Chancellery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
