history

The District Court of Steele was founded on October 1, 1879 as the Royal Prussian District Court. Originally , only local courts in Essen and Werden were planned as part of the judicial reform through the Reich Justice Acts , which also established the Essen Regional Court . However, under pressure from the local authorities, local courts were finally founded in Borbeck and Steele. The District Court of Steele was u. a. responsible for the then independent town of Steele and the mayor's office, for Königssteele and Kray.

The district court began operations in 1879 with two judges, three clerks, two clerks, a bailiff and a so-called sub-official. In the same year the building was built on today's Grendplatz, right next to the post office, which was built in 1874. The courthouse was built by the city of Steele and initially rented to the judiciary, but later became the property of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia . Since the 1960s, due to a notorious lack of space, there have been several branches of the court in succession. A new building near Dreiringplatz was also temporarily in the planning stage. The courthouse has been a listed building since 1984 . Since 1999 the Essen-Steele District Court has been located at Grendplatz with all its departments. For this purpose, the former post office building at Grendplatz 4 was rebuilt and connected to the courthouse.

In 2004, the Essen-Steele district court had a total of 56 employees, namely eight judges, eight senior judicial officers, eight civil servants in the middle service, 18 employees, eight bailiffs, four constables and two cleaning staff .

Superior courts

The Essen-Steele District Court is superordinated to the Essen Regional Court, the Hamm Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice .
