The Federal Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt) is the supreme federal authority serving as the executive office and headquarters of the Chancellor of Germany. Its primary mandate is to assist the Chancellor in coordinating federal government policy, managing cabinet affairs, and overseeing inter-ministerial cooperation. Established in 1949 with the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany, it was originally based in Bonn at Palais Schaumburg before relocating to its distinctive purpose-built complex in Berlin in 2001 following German reunification.
