history
With the reorganization of the court in the Grand Duchy of Berg , the Elberfeld Peace Court and the Barmen Peace Court were established as the court of first instance at the end of 1811 . It was subordinate to the Tribunal of First Instance in Düsseldorf . Prussia took over the Bergisch courts in 1814. The previous peace courts remained, the first instance tribunals were renamed district courts . The Elberfeld and Barmen peace courts were now assigned to the Düsseldorf District Court . In 1820 the organization of the courts was changed. The district courts have now become regional courts. The Elberfeld and Barmen peace courts were subordinated to the Düsseldorf Regional Court . In 1834 the Elberfeld Regional Court was established and the two local courts assigned to it. In 1879, as part of the Reich Justice Laws , it was converted into the district courts of Elberfeld and Barmen.
The old building of the district court on the judicial island was inaugurated in October 1908 after more than two years of construction, at that time still as district court Elberfeld . In 1964 a seventeen-storey high-rise justice building was added, which, however, had to be demolished again in 2001 due to fire protection deficiencies that made a corresponding renovation uneconomical compared to a new building. A new building was erected at this point, which was put into operation in 2005. The new building is used by both the regional and local court in Wuppertal. Negotiations in criminal and civil law proceedings take place here and in the old building.
