Bayerische Staatskanzlei

The agency's primary function is to assist the Minister-President in coordinating the activities of the Bavarian State Government, similar to the German Chancellery on federal level.

The State Chancellery is represented by Bavarian missions in the German capital Berlin and to the European Union in Brussels.

It was erected from 1989 to 1993 around the central dome of the former Bavarian Army Museum, which had been built in 1905 at the site of the Hofgartenkaserne barracks and was demolished in World War II.

With reference to Leo von Klenze's neighbouring Festsaalbau of the Munich Residenz, the new building of the Bavarian Army Museum was also influenced by the Italian High Renaissance architecture, but shows the monumentalization of the late Historicism.

The west side of the central building with six columns completes a three-part entablature with limestone figures in the center and four trophies.
