Same thing as "vice-president". In Germany the head of government office is the Chancellor, his second is the Vice-Chancellor.

In case of the Chancellor's absence, the Vice-Chancellor acts in his place, for instance heading cabinet meetings.
The prefix "Vice" is derived from the Latin "vicis" meaning "in place of".
Unlike the US Vice President, the Vice-Chancellor will not automatically become Chancellor for the rest of the term if the Chancellor dies or becomes unable to fulfill his duties in any other way. Unlike the American Vice President, the Vice-Chancellor is not an independent office, but a Cabinet minister, often but not always as Minister of Foreign Affairs
