Präsidium des Bundes or Bundespräsidium (, roughly chairmanship of the federation) was a title under the German Confederation (1815–1848, 1851–1866) whereby the Austrian delegate held the chair of the Federal Assembly. Austria was thus called the presiding power (). This did not give Austria extra competencies: its delegate simply led the proceedings of the Federal Assembly.
