The Federal Ministry of the Treasury (German: Bundesschatzministerium) was a ministry of the Federal Republic of Germany charged with overseeing the economic possessions of the Federal government.
It was founded in 1957 as the Federal Ministry of Federal Patrimony (German: Bundesministerium für wirtschaftlichen Besitz des Bundes) to replace the earlier Ministry for Economic Cooperation.
In 1961, under the auspices of minister Hans Lenz, it was renamed Federal Ministry for the Treasury.
In 1969, the ministry was dissolved and its functions transferred to the ministries of Finance and Economics.
