Information About

Federal Agency Germany

Top-level federal agencies include the Federal Ministries , the Office Of The Chancellor , the Office Of The President Of Germany , the Federal Auditing Office and the Representative Of The Federal Government For Culture And Media . Top level agencies are distinguished from all other agencies because they are specifically mentioned in the Basic Law .

Upper-level federal agencies include those that stand directly subordinate to a federal ministry but which do not have any agencies subordinate to them, such as the Federal Administrative Agency , the Federal Criminal Police Office , the Federal Insurance Agency , or the German Federal Agency For Technical Relief (Technisches Hilfswerk) .

Middle-level federal agencies are situated between a federal ministry and the lowest administrative level. Their responsibilities are limited to specific regions, for example, the Higher Financial Directorate s and the Defense Administration s.

Low-level federal agencies are subordinate to middle-level agencies and are responsible for relatively small areas such as the District Defense Agencies or the Waterway Administration s.
