Superior courts

The district court of Berlin is superordinate to the district court of Neukölln . The competent higher regional court is the chamber court .

history

The district court Rixdorf originated in 1879 with the enactment of the Judicature Act . It was subordinate to the Regional Court Berlin II and this to the Berlin Chamber Court . With three judicial posts (as of 1880) it was a medium-sized district court in the district court district. In 1912, Rixdorf was renamed Neukölln, the name of the court changed accordingly to Neukölln District Court.

After the Second World War , the judicial organization was reorganized at short notice. The Soviet occupying power set up a district court in every district of Berlin. Accordingly, the Neukölln District Court was established on June 1, 1945. The district courts were later named district court. At its 12th meeting on September 27, 1945 , the Allied Command decided on the judicial structure of the occupied city. One returned to the traditional division with three instances. Twelve district courts were formed again.

After the political change , it was necessary to establish a uniform court structure for the whole of Berlin and at the same time to transfer the GDR judiciary in terms of personnel and organization to constitutional structures. There were two steps to this: In a first step, the East Berlin district courts were overturned on October 3, 1990 . The seven West Berlin district courts remained, whose districts were expanded to include the East Berlin districts. The Neukölln District Court was thus responsible for the districts of Neukölln , Treptow and Köpenick . The city district courts continued to operate as branches of these courts. In a second step, five district courts were set up in the former East Berlin districts in 1991 in order to maintain a whole Berlin court organization. With the law on the jurisdiction of the Berlin courts of September 25, 1990, the Neukölln District Court gave the other two districts back to the new Köpenick District Court .

The building

The district court building was built from 1899 in the neo-renaissance style. The entrance portal is framed by two pillars on which there are griffins . The actual building is built on a triangular floor plan and has 111 rooms with an area of ​​3500 m². It is a listed building .
