Clockwise from top left:
  • Renner was the first Chancellor of German-Austria, the First Republic and the Second Republic
  • Dollfuss turned the First Republic into a dictatorship and is a key figure in fascism
  • For most of his incumbency, Kurz was the world's youngest head of government.
  • Kreisky is considered perhaps Austria's most successful Socialist leader[1]

The chancellor of Austria is the head of government of the Austrian Republic, appointed by the president and regarded as the country's de facto chief executive. The chancellor chairs and leads the Cabinet, which also includes the vice chancellor and the ministers.[2]

Following World War I, the office was originally established by the Provisional National Assembly on 30 October 1918 as state chancellor of the Republic of German-Austria, and its first holder, Karl Renner, was appointed by the State Council. After the Allies declined a union between Austria and Germany,[3] German-Austria established the First Austrian Republic and soon afterwards renamed the office from state chancellor to federal chancellor – the first federal chancellor was Michael Mayr. Ten chancellors served under the First Republic until Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss established the authoritarian and dictatorial Federal State of Austria.[4] Following Dollfuss's assassination by Austrian National Socialists,[5] Kurt Schuschnigg succeeded him as chancellor and upheld the dictatorship.[6] Schuschnigg in turn was replaced by Arthur Seyss-Inquart, a Nazi caretaker who held the office for two days, until Austria was annexed into Nazi Germany.[7]

Austria under National Socialism lost its original republican system of government and was administered by Reichsstatthalter Arthur Seyss-Inquart (1938–1939), Reich Commissioner Josef Bürckel[8] (1939–1940) and Reichsstatthalter Baldur von Schirach[9] (1940–1945). In 1940, the country was renamed Ostmark, completely lost its autonomy and became an administrative division of Nazi Germany.[10][11] After the liberation of Vienna and the dissolution of Nazi Germany, Austria reinstated its republican form of government.[12] However, the country remained under allied occupation until 1955[13] and thus the country's ultimate sovereignty was still held by the Allied Control Council.

Since the establishment of the republic, the People's Party and the Social Democratic Party have largely dominated Austrian politics. The People's Party/Christian Social Party led nineteen cabinets and was the second largest party in eight coalition cabinets; the Social Democratic Party/Social Democratic Workers' Party led eleven cabinets and was the second largest party in five coalition cabinets. Seven parties never held the chancellorship but participated in coalition cabinets: the Greater German People's Party in five, the Freedom Party and the Landbund in four, the Fatherland Front in two, and the Greens, the Alliance for the Future and the Communist Party in one.

If the chancellor dies, resigns or is otherwise incapable of exercising the powers and duties of the office, the vice chancellor automatically becomes acting chancellor; that is if the president has not already found a permanent replacement. If the vice chancellor is unavailable, the other members of the government take over in order of seniority.[14] The unavailability of an elected chancellor does not automatically call for a new election. If the president in turn dies, resigns or is otherwise incapacitated, the chancellor assumes all the powers and duties of the presidency, but only for twenty days.[15]

Bruno Kreisky was the longest serving chancellor with more than 13 years in office, Arthur Seyss-Inquart was the shortest serving non-acting chancellor with 3 days in office, and Walter Breisky was the shortest serving acting chancellor with only 2 days in office.
