history

Seal mark Royal Prussian Circle - Court - Minden

In 1815 a regional and municipal court was set up, to which a part of the municipal and regional court district of Hausberge was affiliated in 1817. With the ordinance of January 2, 1849, this court was converted into a royal district court. On the basis of a royal ordinance, in 1879 it became the Royal District Court with an attached judicial prison in Kampstrasse. During the war the building was destroyed by two aerial bombs, and in 1953 the rebuilt building could be used again. In 1984 the newly built court center was moved into.

The former district court prison at Königswall 89 is a listed building .
