dish

The district court belongs to the district of the Neuruppin Regional Court and the Brandenburg Higher Regional Court .

The seat of the court is the city of Zehdenick . With only four judges, it is one of the smallest courts in Brandenburg. In addition to the judges, there are six legal clerks, 14 civil servants and employees as well as three sergeants in the court. The district court district comprises the northern part of the Oberhavel district and has a homogeneous, rural structure.

history

The building ( Friedrich-Ebert-Platz 9 ) was built from 1911 to 1913 with an attached remand prison as the royal district court of Gransee in connection with the new construction of the Prussian domain administration . The local jurisdiction extended to the Gransee district . However, the court's files date back well into the 19th century.

The remand prison was operated as such until 1945. It was then used as a civil defense magazine . From the 1980s this part was empty. In the first decade of the 21st century, it was converted into an archive .

During the GDR era , the court known as the Gransee District Court was only housed in part of the courthouse. The police , the criminal investigation department , the public prosecutor's office and the state notary's office used most of the building. In line with these uses, various constructions were made inside the building, which were removed again after the fall of 1989.

After the reunification, Zehdenick was established as the smallest judicial district in the state of Brandenburg. It is assumed that the main reason for this was the existing beautiful judicial building. South of the courthouse is Zehdenick's oldest tree, the court linden tree .

architecture

The building was built from 1911 onwards as a large two-story, plastered building in the neo- baroque style . However, the field stone plinth of the house and various wooden decorations also reveal the influence of the homeland security movement . The detention area is much simpler.

The built-up area is 1136 m², of which 397 m² are accounted for by the former prison. The dish was very generously dimensioned, as a lot of emphasis was placed on representation. Nevertheless, it was built inexpensively. For various parts of the stairs, soffits , capitals and parapets were precast concrete used.

The original interior design was very colorful. Pastel tones adapted to the individual light and room conditions dominated. Flamed colored tiles and wrought iron applications set additional accents that clearly differentiated the building from the bulkiness and gloom of courthouses that was common at the time.

The constructions in the GDR era had changed the interior design significantly. From 1993 restorations and dismantling took place.
