Courthouse

The court has been located at Magdeburger Platz  1 in the Mitte district since 1994 . The courthouse is the converted, former warehouse of the neighboring furniture store. The Berlin-Brandenburg Regional Labor Court is located in the same building.

The labor court of Berlin, established on July 1, 1927, had its first official seat at Zimmerstrasse 90/91. Due to a lack of space, additional rooms were later rented in the house opposite (Zimmerstrasse 13) and in Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse 8. In 1931 the labor court, and from May 1933 also the Berlin regional labor court, moved to Wilhelmstrasse  84-87. After the Second World War , the Labor Court began its work on June 4, 1946 at Invalidenstrasse  120-121. The dilapidated building was abandoned after a month and the labor court moved to the ground floor of the former Prussian Higher Administrative Court at Hardenbergstrasse 31 (today: Higher Administrative Court Berlin). The labor court there was only responsible for West Berlin from January 1949, while the labor court for East Berlin was located at Inselstrasse 12. Further stations of the West Berlin Labor Court were Babelsbergerstrasse 14-16 (1951-1965), Cicerostrasse 2 (1965-1975) and Lützowstrasse 106 (1975-1994), expanded in 1991 to include the Berlin-Treptow branch.

Well-known decisions

In the Emmely case, in the case of a long-time cashier who is said to have redeemed two empties vouchers not belonging to her with a total value of 1.30 euros, the Berlin Labor Court ruled in August 2008 that the termination without notice was legal. The decision was confirmed by the Berlin-Brandenburg State Labor Court in February 2009, but on June 10, 2010 the Federal Labor Court declared it to be disproportionate and therefore illegal.
