Sächsische Staatskanzlei


The Sächsische Staatskanzlei is the office of the Minister-President of Saxony. It is located in Dresden on the northern Elbe river banks and was established in 1995. The Staatskanzlei is managed by the State Minister and Head of the Staatskanzlei.
The Free State of Saxony also established a Staatskanzlei between 1918 and 1945. The building was used by the Rat des Bezirkes of the Bezirk Dresden after the German Democratic Republic had established the Bezirk subdivisions in 1952.

Building

Building of the Staatskanzlei is the Gemeinsames Ministerialgebäude or Gesamtministerium. It was built between 1900 and 1904 in Historicistic style. The golden crown on the roof was a visible symbol of authority in the Kingdom of Saxony during the last years of the German Empire. The building is still lettered as Königliches Ministerium des Inneren today.
