***Stellenleiter*** ([\[ˈʃtɛlənˌlaɪ̯.tɐ\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Standard_German), transl. Department leader) was a [Nazi Party political rank](/source/Ranks_and_insignia_of_the_Nazi_Party) which existed between 1936 and 1939. The rank was created as a mid-level political position intended to replace the older rank of *Zellenwart* ("[cell](/source/Clandestine_cell_system) guard"), also known as *[Zellenleiter](/source/Zellenleiter)*. In the early Nazi Party rank organization, the position of *stellenleiter* was senior to *[Mitarbeiter](/source/Mitarbeiter)* and junior to *[Amtsleiter](/source/Amtsleiter)*.

The rank of *stellenleiter* was phased out of the Nazi Party in 1939, replaced by a new series of para-military political ranks.

## Responsibilities

On the county and town level of the Nazi Party, the *stellenleiter* typically served in the positional role of *Zellenleiter* and was often referred to as such in contrast to their actual political rank. On higher levels of the Nazi party (County, Region, and National level), *stellenleiter* was an administrative staff officer type position.
