Düren is the seat of the Düren District Court , which is responsible for the cities and communities of Düren, Heimbach , Hürtgenwald , Kreuzau , Langerwehe , Merzenich , Nideggen , Nörvenich and Vettweiß in the Düren district. Neighboring district courts are Eschweiler , Jülich , Monschau and Schleiden .

The District Court Düren came with the enactment of the Judicature Act on October 1, 1879. The present building at the August-Klotz-road was built 1938-1939. There was a prison with about 20 cells right next to the courthouse.

After returning from the evacuation in the Second World War , the district and city administration was relocated on June 20, 1945 to the district court building as the best preserved administrative building, which also had to accommodate other authorities, namely the military government, the police and the city and district archives. The court itself was soon able to resume its activities on September 15, 1945.

On April 29, 1971, a social therapeutic model institute for lawbreakers at risk of relapse was put into operation in the district court prison. It was designed for 33 people. This facility was closed on June 30, 1996. The archive for 25 courts in North Rhine-Westphalia was then housed in the building.

In June 2020 Stephan Ebeling was appointed director of the local court as the successor to the retired Ulrich Conzen.

The Labor Court Aachen holds in the building of the District Court Düren regularly Assizes from.
