'''Chancellor''' ([[German]]: ''Kanzler'') is a traditional term for the head of government in [[Germany]] and [[Austria]], roughly equivalent to the [[Prime Minister]] in the [[United Kingdom]].
The chancellors of the [[German Empire]] and of the [[Weimar Republic]] were called '''''Reichskanzler''''' (''chancellor of the empire''), while the chancellor of the [[Federal Republic of Germany]] is addressed as '''''Bundeskanzler''''' (''chancellor of the federation'').
