Staatskanzlei

Staatskanzlei stands in Saarbrücken as the official seat of the Saarland Minister-President and a senior state authority. Its atrium structure dates from the 1950s and has housed the office since September 1958. The building supports the state government, coordinates the work of Saarland’s ministries, and represents the region beyond its borders.

Several departments handle organisation, personnel, budgets, policy matters, coordination, press work, and public relations. European and interregional cooperation gives the work a clear focus on Saarland’s connections with France and neighbouring regions. A further office represents Saarland at federal level in Berlin, linking state administration with national politics.

The France Strategy promotes multilingualism and closer economic, educational, and cultural ties with France and the French-speaking world. Those responsibilities place everyday administration alongside Saarland’s ambition to act as a European reference region. History remains visible in the building’s changing locations, from Scheidterstraße to Villa Rexroth before this atrium structure became its home.
