chancery (chancellery) system
Die "Kanzlei" war ein bei einer urkundenausstellenden Institution angesiedelter Kreis sachkundiger Personen, die im Auftrag ihres Herrn (des Urkundenausstellers) die Urkunden formulierten und schrieben. Eine Kanzlei entstand erst dann, wenn regelmäßig und häufig Urkunden auszufertigen waren, und deshalb Personal und Sachkenntnis abrufbereit zur Verfügung stehen mussten.
https://www.historisches-lexikon-bayerns.de/Lexikon/Kanzlei-...
A chancery or chancellery (Latin: cancellaria) is a medieval writing office, responsible for the production of official documents.[1] The title of chancellor, for the head of the office, came to be held by important ministers in a number of states, and remains the title of the heads of government in modern Germany and Austria. Chancery hand is a term for various types of handwriting associated with chanceries.

Discussion
As to "-wesen", here's what the Duden says: "bezeichnet in Bildungen mit Substantiven einen Bereich, eine Gesamtheit, die etwas in seiner Vielfalt umfasst
BEISPIEL
Bildungs-, Finanz-, Gesundheits-, Hochschulwesen".
No particular translation in English: education, finance, health, universities. Sometimes you might add "sector" or something similar.
