history

former judicial building Kurfürstenanlage

In Baden time, the Mannheim court was responsible for the Heidelberg area. In 1864 Heidelberg received a district court that included the district courts of Eppingen , Heidelberg, Neckargemünd , Neckarbischofsheim, Sinsheim and Wiesloch. As early as 1872 the district court of Heidelberg was abolished for cost reasons, which means that the district and court court Mannheim, from 1879 district court Mannheim , was responsible again. The Heidelberg Regional Court was finally founded on May 1, 1899, following an initiative by the City and University of Heidelberg . Between 1968 and 2011, the district and district court, as well as the Heidelberg public prosecutor's office, were housed in a building complex in the electoral complex. In 2011, the company moved to the new Heidelberg administrative center, also in the Kurfürstenanlage. The old buildings were demolished.
