Overview

The Kanzleramt is located across the Reichstag's building in central Berlin. Architect Axel Schultes designed the 9-story building, where the German Chancellor has her office and residence (although none of the Chancellors have decided to live there until now). The access to the building is currently restricted so, unlike the Reichstag, visitors cannot enter it. Made of concrete and huge glass panels, it's an impressive edifice that symbolizes the reunification between East and West Berlin.
