The Federal Chancellor (German: Bundeskanzler, sometimes shortened to Kanzler) is the head of government of Austria. In his capacity as chairman of the Austrian Federal Government, the chancellor represents the supreme federal authority of the executive branch. Though formally an equal member of the cabinet, the Chancellor is considered to be the most powerful position in Austrian politics, and as such is the nation's de facto chief executive. His official seat is in the Federal Chancellery.
The current Chancellor is Werner Faymann, who was appointed upon the 2008 legislative election. His deputy is Reinhold Mitterlehner acting as Vice-Chancellor of Austria.
The use of the term Chancellor (Kanzler, derived from Latin: cancellarius) as head of the chancery writing office can be traced back as far as the ninth century, when under King Louis the German the office of the Archchancellor (Erzkanzler), later Imperial Chancellor (Reichserzkanzler), was created as a high office on the service of the Holy Roman Emperor. The task was usually fulfilled by the Prince-Archbishops of Mainz as Archchancellors of the German lands.

Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann resigns as leader of the centrist coalition government and as head of his Social Democratic Party. Faymann had been under pressure from trade unionists and his party’s youth wing for his tough stance on asylum laws. The chancellor’s resignation also comes less than two weeks after his party's candidate came second-last in the first round of elections for the Austrian presidency. That vote was won by the right-wing Freedom Party candidate. The Freedom Party has done well amid concerns over Europe's refugee crisis.

Austria's former chancellor Werner Faymann has been named as the United Nations' special envoy on youth unemployment, the first appointment for the 56-year-old since he quit in May. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced the appointment on Friday, saying the success of the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Agenda depended on "enhancing opportunities for decent work for youth across the board". The U.N. said young people are three times more likely to be affected by unemployment than older adults. It said Faymann's appointment reflected his long-standing and proactive role in promoting opportunities for young people. Faymann served as Austrian Chancellor and President of the center Social Democratic Party for seven-and-a-half years before bowing to a revolt from inside his party afte...
Turkey's EU Affairs Minister said on Thursday (August 4) that comments by Austria's chancellor, suggesting talks with Turkey on joining the European Union should be ended, came disturbingly close to the rhetoric of the far right.

During a meeting in Ankara with Thorbjon Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Turkey's EU Affairs Minister Omer Celik said Kern's statement was "disturbing." "They criticised Turkey a lot without deserving them. Today an EU member state prime minister had a statement about he will launch an applicatio...

For more from Quadriga, go to http://www.dw.com/en/program/quadriga/s-7296-9798 In Austria, Sunday could see a right-wing populist elected to the position of president. The FPÖ'S Norbert Hofer, whose xenophobic slogans have struck a chord with voters, aims to tap into the constitution's potential for authoritarian power. Norbert Hofer could take the reins of government by emergency decree if he wins Sunday's elections. The current state of play augurs well for him. In the first round of voting, the traditionally popular Social Democrats, the SPÖ, and the Conservatives, the ÖVP, got a taste of the electorate's wrath. Chancellor Werner Faymann of the SPÖ resigned. It seems the Alpine republic is lurching to the right as its voters follow a pattern that has emerged throughout Europe. Is ...
Turkey's attack on Russian jet is foreign policy nightmare - Austrian ex-chancellor. The terror alert is spreading across Europe, engendering fear and resentment. While police forces sweep the European cities in an attempt to get to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) sleeper cells, debate rages over how to deal with incoming refugees. Tensions are running high in countries trying to combat a common enemy. Is a unified anti-IS coalition possible? Can Europe protect its borders? And how do you stop the idea of jihadism infecting young minds? We ask former chancellor and foreign minister of Austria: Wolfgang Schussel is on Sophie&Co; today.
