  1. The German 'prime minister' is called the Federal Chancellor (Bundeskanzler in German) and the current one is Angela Merkel, leader of the the Christian Democratic Union and a 'grand coalition' government of the CDU and Social Democrat parties. She is also the youngest Chancellor ever.

    She is Germany's first female Chancellor, the first former citizen of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) to become Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany (which is Germany today and also used to be West Germany).


  2. its not  prime minister they call they're head of the gov't as Federal Chancellor

    the Cabinet of Germany (German: Bundeskabinett, Bundesregierung) is the chief executive body of the Federal Republic of Germany. It consists of the Chancellor and the cabinet ministers.

    The details of the cabinet's organization are set down in articles 62 to 69 of the Basic Law. Article 64 Paragraph 2 states that the Chancellor and the ministers have to be sworn in when taking office.

    The Chancellor is responsible for guiding the cabinet; the Chancellor decides what direction their policies will take and bears the responsibility. The cabinet ministers have the freedom to carry out their duties independently but must follow the Chancellor's directive. This is known as the Ressortprinzip or principle of departmentalization. The Chancellor decides the scope of each minister's duties.

    If two ministers disagree on a particular point, the cabinet resolves the conflict by majority vote (Kollegialprinzip or principle of deference).

    The Chancellor directs the government's administrative affairs. Details are laid down in the government's Geschäftsordnung (rules for internal procedure) which states, for example, that the cabinet has quorum if at least half of the ministers including the chair are present.

    the current federal chancellor is a female named Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel 2005 CDU
