History and buildings

The Hamburg-Altona district court is located in the northeast of the two historic courthouses at Max-Brauer-Allee 89 and 91.

After the German-Danish War , the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein became Prussian provinces in 1867. With the imperial justice laws in 1873/8, the brick building of the Altona district court with terracotta decoration in the arched style of the Schinkel school was built.

The Altona district court building was added to it in 1904/7 , a plastered building with ashlar structure in the style of the German Renaissance. The ensemble has since 15 June 1981, listed building .

With the incorporation of Altona into Hamburg, which was carried out on the basis of the Greater Hamburg Act from January 26, 1937 to April 1, 1938, the Altona regional court was replaced by the newly founded Itzehoe regional court .
