history

Royal District Court Potsdam 1883

In 1722 the judiciary was subordinated to the High Court in Berlin. In 1808 a royal city court was established. In 1849 the city court became the royal district court . Theodor Storm worked here as an assessor from 1853 to 1857 . On May 22, 1883, Potsdam became the seat of a Royal District Court and a Royal District Court on the occasion of the Imperial Justice Constitution of October 1, 1879. In 1883 the District Court moved into its own building in a newly constructed building in Mauerstrasse (today's Hegelallee 8). In 1910 the district court moved into the rear building. In October 1945 a higher regional court was briefly set up in Potsdam. After the founding of the GDR were district courts Potsdam-Land and Potsdam City furnished. In 1993 the two were combined to form the Potsdam District Court , and the Potsdam District Court became the Regional Court.

Since 2008, the regional court has been housed in the listed building of the Potsdam NCOs' School , which has since been called the Potsdam Justice Center , and which also houses the district court and the constitutional court of the state of Brandenburg . From October 2017 to the end of February 2020, Ellen Chwolik-Lanfermann was the first woman to head the Potsdam Regional Court as president.
