Die Pressekonferenz des Ministerpräsidenten findet in der Staatskanzlei statt.
The minister-president's press conference is taking place in the state chancellery.
This word consists of 'der Staat' (the state) and 'die Kanzlei' (an important office). The 's' in the middle is a linking s that connects the two parts. So it is the chancellery that belongs to the state.
Der Chef der Staatskanzlei ist ein wichtiger politischer Beamter.
The head of the state chancellery is an important political official.
This term is specific to the political structure in Germany and Switzerland. In Germany, it is the authority of the head of government of a federal state, not of the federal government in Berlin (that is the 'Bundeskanzleramt' (Federal Chancellery)).
Die Bayerische Staatskanzlei hat ihren Sitz in München.
The Bavarian State Chancellery is based in Munich.
