Description
The German Chancellery is home to the offices of the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.  This H-shaped concrete and glass building is an impressive 8-times bigger than the White House.  It contains an apartment for the Chancellor.  The design of the building has led to a variety of uncomplementary comparisons.  Apparently the most popular is to call it the , "Bundeswaschmaschine", or federal washing machine.
