history
Initially, the Fallersleben District Court was also responsible for the city of the KdF-Wagen , founded in 1938 and renamed Wolfsburg in 1945. From 1950 onwards there were efforts to build a local court for the growing city. On February 1, 1955, a branch of the Fallersleben District Court was initially established in Wolfsburg. Two judges as well as some employees of the judiciary moved into rooms in the Hildebrandt office building on the corner of Porschestrasse and Kleiststrasse.
On January 12, 1955, the Lower Saxony state parliament had decided that a district court should be built in Wolfsburg. On November 8th of the same year, the Wolfsburg City Council passed the resolution for the new court building. Titus Taeschner , who shortly before had designed the town hall opposite, was commissioned as the architect . On December 1, 1957, the new district court began operations with four judges and one assessor .
The foundation stone for today's courthouse was laid on November 6, 1985, as the previous district court had become too small for Wolfsburg, which has now grown into a large city . On June 1, 1987, operations began in today's district court. For the construction of the building, the last houses on Bäckergasse were demolished in 1985 and the street disappeared. The former courthouse on Pestalozziallee has since been used by the city of Wolfsburg as "Town Hall C".
In 1988 the sculpture Human Rights by Karl Ulrich Nuss (Weinstadt) was erected next to the main entrance , it shows a bared man.
