The State Chancellery is located behind the Hofgarten in downtown Munich and was completed in 1993. Previously, only the unrenovated domed building of the former Army Museum, which was largely destroyed during World War II, stood in its place. At that time, the State Chancellery was housed in the nearby Prinz-Carl-Palais, which is still used for representative purposes today.
The planning for the new building was driven by former Bavarian Prime Minister Franz Josef Strauß. The team of architects Diethard J. Siegert and Reto Gansser designed the concept, which links the renovated domed building of the Army Museum and the arcades of the Hofgarten with the glazed wings of the new building.
