Bundeskanzleramt or Chancellor’s Office – Berlin, Germany

Travel to Bundeskanzleramt aka the Chancellor’s Office in Berlin, Germany. The Chancellor’s Office (Chancellery) is the office of the Chancellor, the head of the German federal government (Bundesregierung).

The current Chancellery building (opened in 2001) was designed by Charlotte Frank and Axel Schultes from 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.

Access for the general public is only possible on particular days during the year. Since 1999, the German government has welcomed the general public for one weekend per year to visit its buildings – usually in August.
