Schöneiche Castle (Schloss Schöneiche) is the official residence of the Minister-President since 1961.

The Minister-President of Dahemia[a], or colloquially referred to as the prime minister of Dahemia, is the combined head of state and head of government of the Free State of Dahemia, and therefore its most important political figure. For that reason, Dahemia is sometimes referred to as a "Ministerdemokratie" ('ministry democracy').

The Minister-President is elected by popular vote upon a nomination by a political party, without debate and by secret ballot. While the Minister-President can nominate ministers, the Chamber of Deputies either formally rejects or ratifies the proposed members of government.

More often than not, the Minister-President also appoints a Deputy Minister-President, though such an office is not official nor represented in the constitution. Before the end of an official term, the Minister-President can only be removed through a motion and subsequent vote of no-confidence by the Chamber, which requires the body to nominate a successor by an absolute majority. In case the Minister-President dies or resigns, the Deputy Minister-President usually succeeds them in heading a caretaker government while parliament is dissolved and a new government is assembled.

The current Minister-President is Ulrich Barschel since 12 October 2021; he previously served one term from 2013 to 2017.
