Restructuring and moving to the judicial center

With the completion of the newly created Justice Center Gelsenkirchen in the south of the city at the Gelsenkirchen Science Park , the two district courts of Gelsenkirchen and Gelsenkirchen-Buer, which previously existed in the city of Gelsenkirchen, were merged. The Gelsenkirchen-Buer district court was dissolved on January 1, 2016. Since then, the Gelsenkirchen District Court has been solely responsible for the entire area of ​​the city of Gelsenkirchen. The move to the new justice center at Bochumer Straße 79 took place on January 18, 2016 as planned. During the month of January, the meetings were gradually relocated from the two previous courthouses, Overwegstrasse 35 (Mitte) and Goldbergstrasse 89 (Buer), to the new location, and since January 27, 2016, they have been taking place exclusively in the new premises. On April 29, 2016, the North Rhine-Westphalian Minister of Justice Thomas Kutschaty , who had also attended the topping-out ceremony (April 27, 2015) the year before, officially inaugurated the new justice center.

Personnel and equipment

Former seat of the Gelsenkirchen District Court on Overwegstrasse (extension, 1958)

After the merger with the former Gelsenkirchen-Buer District Court, the Gelsenkirchen District Court with a total of 230 employees, including 35 judges and the same number of judicial officers , is the largest of the three courts housed in the Gelsenkirchen Justice Center in Gelsenkirchen-Ückendorf (next to the District Court moved there in January 2016 also the Social Court of Gelsenkirchen and the Labor Court of Gelsenkirchen ). Before the merger, 21 judges worked at the old location of the former Gelsenkirchen District Court on Overwegstrasse. As the old court building was in a state of disrepair, the meeting rooms had to be closed due to the risk of collapse, so alternative quarters in the Gelsenkirchen Science Park had to be used before the move to the new complex.

management

Since June 8, 2015, the court's director has been Mathias Kirsten, former presiding judge of the 16th civil chamber of the Essen regional court, who most recently worked as a department head in the regional court administration. His predecessor Jost-Michael Kausträter took over the management of the court in spring 2009 with the prospect of coordinating the amalgamation of the city's two local courts. However, this did not happen due to delays in his term of office. Kausträter supervised the construction of the new Gelsenkirchen judicial center, the foundation stone of which was laid in 2013. Now, as head of division in the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of Justice, he will organize the introduction of the electronic files .
