The State Chancellery was established when Thuringia was re-established in 1990 and has been based in the Electoral Mainz Lieutenancy since 1994 . From 1992 to 1999 there was a minister in the State Chancellery in addition to a State Secretary as head of the authority. These were Franz Schuster and Andreas Trautvetter in the Vogel I cabinet and later Christine Lieberknecht in the Vogel II cabinet .

In 1994 the State Chancellery took up the area of ​​"Federal Affairs" from the dissolved Ministry for Federal and European Affairs , which was only created in 1992 as a spin-off from the Ministry of Justice (Federal Government) and the State Chancellery (Europe). The Minister for Federal Affairs in the State Chancellery was responsible for federal affairs. The area of ​​"European affairs" was initially attached to the Ministry of Justice, but in 1999 it was also assigned to the State Chancellery. Since then, the function of Minister for Federal and European Affairs has been carried out by the Head of the State Chancellery in personal union.

In 2014 the State Chancellery continued to receive the "Culture" section from the Thuringian Ministry of Education, Science and Culture . Since then, the head of the State Chancellery has also been the “Minister for Culture, Federal and European Affairs”.
