Reorganization

Since the establishment of the institution, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has undergone several administrative changes to its organizational structure. When a new department was formed, it often merged with the ministry thus expanding its role, subsequently leading to the name of the ministry being changed. If that department later broke off as a separate ministry or was dissolved, the ministry reverted to its original name. * Ministry of Internal Affairs (1912–1914; 1927–1939; 1943–1991; 2013–2017) * Ministry of Internal Affairs and War (1914–1925) * Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Works (1925–1927) * Minister State Secretary for Internal Affairs (1939–1943) * Ministry of Public Order (1991–1994; 1998–2005) * Ministry of Interior (1994–1998; 2005–2013; 2017–present)
