Therefore Langquaid was relinquished of the title of capital city and Königsreh determined as the new seat of government.
Since 1800 the Monarch maintains his or her seat in the Hochkronstein palace in Königsreh. Subsequently in 1803, most of the government and authorities relocated from Langquaid to Königsreh. The Reichsrat, Reichssenat and Mascyllary government have since then begun operating in the Mascyllary capital. In 1810 the new Kronenrat building was inaugurated and first obtained by Prime Minister wilhelm Stenreck. Other government buildings were erected between 1810 and 1813; the latest government agency to relocate to Königsreh was the DSA after its new headquarters was erected in 2015.
