The district court was founded in 1852 as part of the "Great Judicial Reform" in the Kingdom of Hanover . As a city ​​court, it was initially only responsible for the city of Hanover, but as early as 1856 it was merged with the district court, which was responsible for the district of Hanover. In 1859 the Langenhagen district court was incorporated. In the course of its 150-year history, the district court was housed in different buildings: In 1888 it moved from the Reden'schen Palais, in which it had been housed since 1852, to the newly built "Old Justice Building", also known as the Palace of Justice, located in the Second World War was completely destroyed. However, since the court did not have sufficient premises at any time, some departments moved into additional rented buildings in downtown Hanover from the start. A new building on the neighboring property did not relax until 1985.

In 1977 right-wing radical Paul Ernst Otte, who was a member of the Braunschweig group and also an undercover agent for the protection of the constitution, carried out a bomb attack on the Hanover district court. The attack coincided with a series of attacks or attempted attacks on border installations in the GDR, trucks in transit to West Berlin, the Jewish community center in Hanover, the public prosecutor's office in Flensburg.
