The Hamm District Court entered service with this regulation from Kaiser Wilhelm I in 1878.

"We Wilhelm, by the grace of God, King of Prussia, decree on the basis of Section 21 of the Implementing Act to the German Courts Constitution Act of April 24, 1878 (Law Collection, p. 230) what follows:

§ 1 Local courts are established: ... in the district of the Regional Court of Dortmund: to ... Hamm, ...

§ 2 This ordinance comes into force at the same time as the German Courts Constitution Act of January 27, 1877. Documented under our signature and with the imprinted royal seal. Given at the Neues Palais near Potsdam, June 26th 1878. On the very highest order of His Majesty the King Friedrich Wilhelm, Crown Prince LS "

After the establishment, it took until October 1, 1879 until the first district court councilors Kapp and Dierichs were appointed at the royal district court in Hamm. The district court was housed from 1878 to 1894 in the former inn "City of London" at St. Paul's Church. In 1894, the Royal District Court moved together with the Royal Higher Regional Court of Hamm to a new building built between 1890 and 1894 on what was then Friedrichplatz, which today houses the town hall of Hamm. The district court has had its seat there since the construction of the second new building on Borbergstrasse. Between 1959 and 1978 the Hamm Regional Labor Court was also housed in the building. The Hamm Labor Court , the Main Justice Treasury at the Higher Regional Court and the land registry office also shared this accommodation at times .
