Grevenbroich District Court

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grevenbroich District Court is responsible for the cities of Grevenbroich and Jüchen as well as for the municipality of Rommerskirchen . The Grevenbroich District Court is also responsible for agricultural matters in the Grevenbroich, Mönchengladbach and Mönchengladbach-Rheydt district courts. It has been located on Lindenstrasse in Grevenbroich since 1907. Important sources on the club's history as well as on the city's economic history are kept here.

Beginnings and new construction on Lindenstrasse

District court in Grevenbroich

In Grevenbroich, the district court was initially housed in the rooms of the town hall, which was inaugurated in 1875. After just a few years, the rooms had become too small, which is why they looked for new accommodation or a new building was considered. At that time, the Uhlhorns offered the district court a plot of land on Provinzial-Landstraße, today's Lindenstraße, as a building site, a street that was heavily used at the time, especially during the beet harvest time, and which was an industrial park at the time. Later the street was sometimes also called Adolf-Hitler-Allee. The building site was exactly opposite the Grevenbroich machine factory near a railroad track. At the meeting of the Prussian House of Representatives on February 27, 1904, the budget commission in Berlin then granted permission for the purchase of the building site and the new building. Construction began on August 28, 1905, and the grand opening was on April 4, 1907. The building survived the two world wars with almost no damage.

1970 until today

Since the 1970s, the premises became so cramped that a new building or at least an extension was considered. The efforts led to an assessment in 1985, in the course of which the building was placed under monument protection. In order to cover the space requirements, rooms were first rented on Montanusstrasse, and later they moved to Rheydter Strasse, where part of the local court was housed in the rooms above a supermarket. After the architects Quasten and Lenze had renovated the former “Imperial Post Office”, parts of the court were now able to move to the ground floor of the building in the direct vicinity of the district court. This remained so until the extension was given up in October 2005. The groundbreaking ceremony for an extension to the left of the main building had already taken place in spring 2004.
