Courthouse

The building is a five-storey brick building that was built in 1992 based on a design by the architect Gottfried Böhm . The building is divided lengthways by a glass atrium extending over all floors; the resulting space contains daylight from above through the sloping glass roof surfaces. On the narrow sides, parts of the brick walls are set back slightly and walled up ornamentally, so that a nested arched pattern is created in the set back wall parts. A round, tiled tower adjoins the southern narrow wall, the conical top of which extends to the level of the second floor.

The building is one of a series of more "conventional and closed-looking" buildings with bricks as a building material that Gottfried Böhm designed since the 1980s.
