history

The district court was founded on October 1, 1852 in the course of the "Great Judicial Reform" in the Kingdom of Hanover . In the first few years after its establishment, the district court was initially housed by the higher-ranking higher court in Göttingen in its building on Wilhelmsplatz. After the higher court moved to Waageplatz, today's seat of the public prosecutor's office, in 1857, the district court had the premises on Wilhelmsplatz alone for more than 100 years. In 1859 the district courts of Bovenden and Radolfshausen were repealed and their judicial districts were assigned to the district court of Göttingen.

Due to the increasing shortage of space, several buildings were rented up until the Second World War, including a villa in Baurat-Gerber-Straße 3. On April 1, 1962, the new building on Berliner Straße, which was originally intended as an extension of the regional court, was moved was. Since 1992, the district and regional courts have had sufficient space thanks to a further extension.
