The Bad Schwartau District Court was located in the building until September 30, 2009 .

The District Court of Schwartau was formed in 1879 on the basis of the Reich Justice Laws by taking over the judicial tasks of the dissolved office of Schwartau .

The Schleswig-Holstein state parliament decided in 2006 (among other things) to repeal the district court in Bad Schwartau. Since September 30, 2009 the building has not been used by the court. The further use of the building has not yet been determined. In March 2019, the finance committee of the city of Bad Schwartau decided to buy the building for € 600,000. In May 2019, the purchase agreement was signed with the state of Schleswig-Holstein. The final purchase price was € 630,000. A usage concept is being developed. Among other things, there are plans to reopen the city's museum, which was closed in spring 2018. In May 2020 it was announced that € 800,000 from federal funds will be invested in the redesign or renovation of the building.
