Chancellery (Austria)
In Austrian politics, the Federal Chancellery (German: Bundeskanzleramt, lit. 'federal chancellery', abbreviated BKA; historically also Hofkanzlei and Staatskanzlei) is the ministry led by the chancellor. Since the establishment of the First Austrian Republic in 1918, the Chancellery building has served as the venue for the sessions of the Austrian cabinet. It is located on the Ballhausplatz in the centre of Vienna, vis-à-vis the Hofburg Imperial Palace. Like Downing Street, Quai d'Orsay or – formerly – Wilhelmstrasse, the address has become a synecdoche for governmental power.
