The Chancellor of Vierzland (Vierz: Kanzler Vierzlands), officially the Chancellor of the Vierz Federation (Vierz: Kanzler der Vierze Föderation), is the head of state and head of government of Vierzland.

The constitution ordains the appointment of the Chancellor by a simple majority vote in the Federal Assembly. The Chancellor is the head of the executive branch as chairperson of the Federal Council.

Chancellors may serve a maximum of three, five-year terms, consecutive or nonconsecutive. It is a historical convention that the Chancellor also be a member of the legislature; this norm has only been broken three times with the chancelleries of Hermann Eschau, Helmut Bergmann, and Stefan Vogt.

In the Vierz Empire, the Reichskanzler (Reich Chancellor) was normally elected by the Imperial Assembly and approved by the Kaiser. The de facto power of the Chancellor, referred to as Kanzlerswirksamkeit ("Chancellor's efficacy/effectiveness"), varied considerably over the course of the empire's lifespan, with some Chancellors more subordinate to the Kaiser and others more independent and authoritative.

The current Chancellor is Kaspar Vahl, who is serving his second term in office after the 2017 elections. Klemens Brandt is the current Deputy Chancellor.

Deputy chancellor

There are no constitutional or legislative provisions mandating the appointment of a Deputy Chancellor. According to Chapter III of the Vierz Constitution, incapacitation or resignation of the Chancellor before an election results in either "their immediate deputy, or the President of the Federal Assembly" becoming acting chancellor until an election can be held.

Some chancellors have appointed one or multiple Deputy Chancellors. Any and all appointed deputies must be approved by majority vote of the Federal Assembly. Unlike ministers, deputies may be dismissed by the Chancellor without consent of the assembly. If multiple deputies are appointed, then it is customary for one to be designated as the primary among them in the style of "First Deputy Chancellor".

The Deputy Chancellor has no de jure powers or responsibilities according to the constitution, but de facto receives authority from the Chancellor. It is generally assumed that their power cannot surpass that of the Chancellor. Typically, the Deputy Chancellor, if there is one, may chair meetings where the Chancellor otherwise could not. Occasionally the deputy is discharged on diplomatic missions in place of the Foreign Minister.

Official residence

Since 1992, the official residence and workplace of the Chancellor is the Vierz Chancellery Building in Adtrus. It is colloquially known as Schwarzhalle ("Black Hall") due to the black walls of parts of its interior. Schwarzhalle has become a common metonym for the executive government of Vierzland as a whole. The Wernerhof building, which normally hosts meetings of the Federal Council, also maintains offices for the Chancellor's use.

In addition to the Adtrus complexes, the Chancellor maintains official residence in Bertenau in Maaslar Palace, the former part-time lodging for the Vierz emperor.
