The State Chancellery was built between 1900 and 1904 as a joint ministerial building in the neo-renaissance style on the Neustädter Elbe bank between Carolabrücke and Albertbrücke for the royal Saxon ministries of the interior, justice and the ministry of culture and public education . The building, designed by Edmund Waldow (Head of State Building Construction) and under the direction of the architect Heinrich Tscharmann , was partially destroyed in 1945 during the bombing of Dresden . After reconstruction in the 1950s, it was the seat of the Dresden District Council until 1990 . The building was renovated between 1990 and 1994, and in 1992 the dove of peace on the roof was exchanged for a crown based on the original. Since 1990 the building has been the seat of the Saxon State Government and the Saxon State Chancellery.
