LEADING MEN ANGELA MERKEL

The Chancellor of Germany is the head of government of Germany. The official title in German is Bundeskanzler(in) (literally, Federal Chancellor), sometimes shortened to Kanzler(in). The term, dating from the early Middle Ages, is derived from the Latin term cancellarius.

In German politics, the Chancellor is equivalent to that of a prime minister in many other countries. German has two equivalent translations of prime minister, Premierminister and Ministerpräsident. While Premierminister usually refers to heads of governments of foreign countries (e.g., the United Kingdom), Ministerpräsident may also refer to the heads of government of most German states.

The current Chancellor is Angela Merkel, who is serving her third term in office. She is the first female chancellor, thus being known in German as Bundeskanzlerin (that particular word was never used officially before Merkel, but it is a grammatically regular formation of a noun denoting a female chancellor, adding "-in" to the end of "Bundeskanzler").

The modern office of Chancellor evolved from the position created for Otto vonBismarck in the North German Confederation in 1867; the Confederation evolved into a German nation-state with the 1871 Unification ofGermany. The role of the Chancellor has varied greatly throughout Germany's modern history. Today, the Chancellor is the country's effective leader.
