history

The building was constructed from 1901 to 1906 by Paul Thoemer and Rudolf Mönnich , who also designed the Berlin district courts of Lichtenberg, Pankow and Wedding. At the end of May 1945, the Lichterfelde District Court and the Zehlendorf District Court were reorganized by the Allies as part of the reorganization of the Berlin judiciary . As of October 1, 1973, the district courts of Lichterfelde and Zehlendorf were dissolved as an independent body and merged with the district court of Schöneberg.

On March 27, 1949, due to the division of Germany, the Schöneberg District Court was given central jurisdiction, which had previously been held by the Mitte District Court .

Responsibility for Germans abroad

Interior view of the Schöneberg District Court

If the person concerned is not domiciled in Germany and if international treaties give rise to the jurisdiction of the German courts because the person concerned has German citizenship, the district court of Schöneberg is responsible.

This is particularly the case with

Diplomats , professional consuls and other officials from a German embassy who did not have a place of residence in Germany before being posted abroad ( Section 15 ZPO);
certain family matters : matrimonial matters ( § 122 FamFG) descent things ( § 170 FamFG), adoption matters ( § 187 FamFG) Versorgungsausgleich things ( § 218 FamFG), unless the parties have a residence in Germany;
Proceedings before the supervisory court ( Section 272 FamFG and Section 313 FamFG);
Proceedings before the probate court ( § 343 FamFG) as well as death declarations ( § 15a VerschG );
Procedure for changing first names and civil status according to the Transsexual Act ( § 2 TSG).

It took over this jurisdiction from the Berlin Regional Court in 1949 as a result of the division of Germany .

Superior courts

The Berlin Regional Court is superordinate to the Schöneberg District Court. The competent higher regional court is the chamber court .
