building

Plan of the Stuttgart justice district.

The Stuttgart justice district (or judicial district) with the higher regional court and the regional court is located in the quarter between Olgastraße and Urbanstraße or Ulrichstraße and Archivstraße.

The building of the Higher Regional Court at Ulrichstraße 10 and Olgastraße 2 contains the rooms of the Higher Regional Court:

The three connected buildings of the district court consist of Tertiary coarse limestone from Tengen . They are located on Urbanstrasse on the site of the judicial building built in 1875–1879 and destroyed in 1944:

  • Long building at Urbanstrasse 20, height 24 meters, length 67 meters, 6 floors and 2 basement floors, main facade cladding made of Gauinger travertine , construction period: 1954–1956.
  • Skyscraper on the corner of Urbanstrasse 18 and Archivstrasse ("Tower of Justice"), set back from Urbanstrasse by a forecourt, height 33 meters, 9 floors, construction period: 1950–1953. The former entrance to the left of the high relief was bricked up.
  • Connecting wing between the two buildings with floor transitions and the main entrance of the district court, 6 floors.

The building of the former district court at Archivstrasse 15A, the only largely preserved part of the destroyed judicial building, has also belonged to the district court since 2001. The library of the Higher Regional Court is housed in the neighboring new building, Archivstrasse 15B.

High relief of the oath .

In the middle of the forecourt rises a high, rectangular column made of six limestone blocks, from which the figure of the “ Genius ” grows out in blocks (see cover picture). The back of the column tapers upwards like a buttress and thereby underlines the dynamism of the slightly leaning figure. Article 1 of the constitution of the state of Baden-Württemberg is carved on the face of the column.

The Genius was created by the sculptor Hermann Kress based on a design by Hermann Brachert in 1956. The larger than life figure, "a kind of Archangel Michael, who victoriously sets foot on injustice in the form of a snake", wears a body-length, wrinkled robe, a rigid collar and a cap that covers the hair. The left hand rises as if in defense, the right hand holds an unidentified object.

High relief

The square high relief "The Oath", an allegorical representation of the administration of justice, has a side length of around 6 meters and was created in 1953 by the sculptor Hermann Kress based on a design by Hermann Brachert . It is located, half covered by the canopy of a tree, on the right corner of the high-rise building at Urbanstrasse 18.

Above the inscription “Law and Justice and Freedom” stands the people, represented by representatives of different classes: mother with child, soldier, man with hanging arms, man with oath hand, craftsman with sledgehammer and farmer with scythe and sapling. The jury court with three judges, one of whom raises his hand to take an oath, towers over the half-naked people. Justitia stands high above all with a sword and scales, and everything is outshone by the sun, which brings the truth to light.

The three judges (from left to right) are depicted with the features of the then Higher Regional Court President Robert Perlen , the Prime Minister Reinhold Maier and the Minister of Justice Josef Beyerle .

memorial

description

A staircase leads from Urbanstraße to the forecourt of the regional court. To the left of the stairs there is a head-high ashlar wall made of red sandstone. A wedge-shaped layer of red marble juts out from under the top of the wall. It bears the inconspicuous, barely perceptible band of inscriptions

IN MEMORY OF THE VICTIMS OF JUSTICE IN NATIONAL SOCIALISM
HUNDREDS WERE EXECUTED HERE IN THE COURTYARD
A WARNING TO THE LIVING

The Stuttgart journalist Joe Bauer says: “You need very good scouts to discover this memorial; it was knowingly hidden. ”The memorial was inaugurated on June 13, 1994. It commemorates the at least 450 victims of the Nazi judiciary who were executed with the guillotine from 1933 to 1944 in the atrium of the former justice building. At the site of the Nazi regime's execution site, there is now a parking lot for court employees.

prehistory

The justice building was the seat of the notorious "Special Court of Stuttgart". Under its chairman Cuhorst (since October 1, 1937) it “increasingly sentenced so-called 'broadcast crimes', 'pest crimes' and 'violent crimes'. Death sentences were imposed for the most minor offenses, such as minor thefts, but also for specific Nazi offenses such as 'damage to the reputation of the German people', which, according to the so-called 'Poland Penal Ordinance', understood intimate relationships between a Polish slave laborer and a German woman . ".

Memorial.

Along with Munich and Hamburg, the Stuttgart execution site was one of the largest of its kind. The executioner Johann Reichhart traveled every three to four weeks and was responsible for the central execution site in Stuttgart. From March 1942 to September 1944, 20 death sentences were carried out on these dates, and on June 1, 1943 even 34. The prisoners housed in the so-called “Stuttgart remand prison” were beheaded with a guillotine every three minutes between five and seven in the morning. When the employees came on duty, everything was cleared away again.

The bodies of those killed were brought to the anatomical institutes of the University of Tübingen and the University of Heidelberg and given to the medical students for "training purposes". In Tübingen the remains of the corpses were buried in burial field X in the city ​​cemetery .

outlook

Fritz Endemann, former administrative judge at the Stuttgart Regional Court and initiator of the memorial, demands: "It is essential to change that cars are now parked at the point where the blood of 450 people flowed". In addition, he advocates “that the commemoration in this place becomes more worthy. 'This inscription is inadequate in terms of appearance and content,' he criticizes. In the 1990s, no detailed statement could be enforced. The names of those executed should also not be given. This could change soon."

In an article about seven French resistance fighters from Dijon who were murdered in the court of the regional court, the journalist Roger Repplinger describes the memorial as an “anonymous memorial plaque” and continues: “The inscription is expressed around the word 'murder' as well as around ' Wrong '. And it is more than questionable whether one does justice to the men and women who were murdered here by calling them 'victims'. At all, it is unusual for lawyers to deny any specific date: What were the names of the executed? How many were there? Where did they come from Who condemned them for what? Who was involved besides the judges? Who executed them? "

The French resistance fighters were given a minimum of dignified memory, not in Stuttgart but in Dijon: At the Dijon train station, a plaque commemorates the dead: “This plaque says that seven railway workers, members of the French resistance movement, were on April 19, 1944 were beheaded in Stuttgart: 'Décapités par les Nazis le 19. Avril à Stuttgart.' And then seven names are listed with their ages. ”The remains of the dead were taken to the Heidelberg anatomy.

history

Empire and Weimar Republic

On October 1, 1879, the Reich Justice Acts came into force, including the Reich Court Constitution Act of January 27, 1877 and the Württemberg Implementation Act of January 24, 1879, which among other things regulated the establishment of the judiciary. As part of these reforms, the previous district court in Stuttgart was replaced by the district court in Stuttgart. The judicial district included the district courts of Stuttgart, Stuttgart-Cannstatt, Böblingen, Esslingen, Leonberg, Ludwigsburg and Waiblingen.

In view of the reform of the judiciary through the Reich Justice Acts, a new building was built on Urbanstrasse between Ulrichstrasse and Archivstrasse from 1875 to 1879, which from 1879 housed the Higher Regional Court and the Regional Court. The justice building was built according to the plans of the architect Theodor von Landauer , at that time the Württemberg senior building officer, on the site of today's justice district as a magnificent, palace-like building in the style of Palladio's high renaissance . The four outer wings and a central building enclosed two square inner courtyards, of which the northern one was used as a place of execution. In addition to numerous office rooms, the justice building contained a jury court room and eight other hearing rooms. Two allegorical figures “Justice and Law” by the sculptor Karl Kopp adorned the attic of the central building on the main front facing Archivstrasse. A T-shaped building behind the justice building, which was also built by Landauer from 1878 to 1880, served as a prison. It was connected to the main building by an underground passage. The justice building was almost completely destroyed in 1944, only the former district court at Archivstrasse 15B was largely spared. The preserved surrounding walls were removed when the new buildings of the Higher Regional Court and Regional Court were built in the 1950s.

National Socialism

Little is known about the staff of the regional court and the proceedings handled during the Nazi era , because many files were destroyed during the war. By Verreichlichung of Justice on 1 April 1935, the Justice sovereignty of the countries was transferred to the Ministry of Justice, so that the district court Stuttgart was placed under the Ministry of Justice. Due to the law for the restoration of the civil service of 1933 and the Reich Citizenship Law of 1935, the Jewish employees were removed from service.

Race Protection Chamber

The "Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor" of September 15, 1935, the so-called " Blood Protection Act ", prohibited marriages and extramarital sex between "Jews, Gypsies and Negroes" with "citizens of German or related blood". Violations of the law were threatened with prison or penitentiary service, and from 1941 also with the death penalty, women remained unpunished.

As in all other regional courts, race protection proceedings in Stuttgart usually had to be transferred to a single criminal chamber. By order of the district court president Martin Rieger in 1937 the criminal chamber V of the district court was designated as a race protection chamber. The judges involved in the race protection proceedings applied the law obediently and rigorously, although some even belonged to the Confessing Church . See also: Race Protection Procedure .

Stuttgart Special Court

From 1933, in addition to the Regional Court and the Higher Regional Court, the Stuttgart Special Court, which was responsible for criminal and political proceedings in the district of the Stuttgart Higher Regional Court outside the ordinary jurisdiction, met in the judicial building . Some judges of the regional court were appointed to the special court in the course of their careers (see #Richter zur Nazzeit ). The special court was notorious for the massive imposition of death sentences and long-term penal sentences or imprisonment in concentration camps for minor criminal offenses or specific Nazi offenses. More than 450 death sentences, including 200 sentences from the Stuttgart Special Court, were carried out in the northern atrium of the justice building (see memorial, previous history ).

Last years of the war

In a bombing raid on the night of September 12th to 13th, 1944, the judicial building was destroyed in a heavy air raid with the exception of the surrounding walls, and the remand prison was "only damaged". The regional court was temporarily housed in the building at Ulrichstrasse 10-12, which is also located in the justice district. With the occupation of Stuttgart by French troops on April 21, 1945, all German jurisdiction ceased.

post war period

On September 10, 1945, Franz Steinle was appointed the first post-war president of the district court by the American military government. He was followed by Robert Perlen as President of the Regional Court on December 4, 1945 , while Franz Steinle became President of the re-established Higher Regional Court. The judicial district of the regional court was expanded to include the American-occupied district court district of Nürtingen due to the layout of the occupation zones. This district court previously belonged to the otherwise French-occupied regional court district of Tübingen . Until the construction of the new district court building in 1956, the nave at Urbanstrasse 20, the district court was still housed in the Ulrichstrasse 10-12 building. The Higher Regional Court used the high-rise building at Urbanstraße 18, which was newly built in 1953, until it moved to the new building at Olgastraße 2. In 1982, the regional court also moved into the high-rise building in addition to the long building, and in 2001 also the former district court at Archivstraße 15A.

Judges during the Nazi era

Little is known about the staff of the Stuttgart Regional Court during the Nazi era because many files were destroyed in the war.

Special court

Fritz Endemann, a former administrative judge at the Stuttgart Regional Court, compiled the most important data on some of the "main participants" who were appointed by the Stuttgart Regional Court to the Stuttgart Special Court , as shown in the following table. This overview is in no way representative, but can only provide clues about the careers of compliant lawyers during the Nazi era. All of the listed judges were exonerated after the Second World War in the arbitration chamber proceedings or qualified as followers and once again made careers in the judicial service.

List of victims

Death Penalty List, page 1.

See also: List of people executed in the German Reich .

The memorial withholds the names of the dead who were murdered in the north atrium of the justice building. Not only were death sentences carried out by the Stuttgart Special Court or the Higher Regional Court, but victims from all over southwest Germany were brought to the central execution site in Stuttgart and beheaded there.

Since many files were destroyed in the war, the exact number of those murdered can no longer be determined. Fritz Endemann, former administrative judge at the Stuttgart Regional Court, draws the conclusion: “But the dimensions are clearly recognizable: The Stuttgart registry office has death certificates for 454 executions between October 23, 1933 and August 24, 1944. A list apparently made in the Stuttgart remand prison ... recorded 375 executions from March 26, 1942 to August 24, 1944. A closer comparison of the death certificates with this list shows that they are not complete. "

Official list

In the State Archives Ludwigsburg a typewritten official list entitled "death penalty" is kept, which was created after the war and, among other things in the Spruchkammer acts of the Nazi judge Hermann Cuhorst located. It can be downloaded as a PDF file from the Ludwigsburg State Archives website. The list covers the period between March 26, 1942 and August 24, 1944. It is numbered 1–419 and contains the names of 420 people sentenced to death. 393 sentences were carried out, the remaining sentences were commuted to imprisonment, some detainees allegedly died of natural causes or were transferred to other detention centers, and one person was “pardoned”. This list is also incomplete and in some cases poorly preserved, so that the resulting figures can only provide a guide.

Missing list

The following lists contain the names of people who are missing from the official list.

Lech leader group

The Mannheim Lechleiter group, an anti-fascist resistance group, was founded by Georg Lechleiter . The group published the KP underground newspaper “Der Vorbote”. 14 members of the group (see table) were sentenced to death by the 2nd Senate of the People's Court in Mannheim on May 15, 1942 for “preparation for high treason” . They were guillotined on September 15, 1942 between 5:00 am and 5:47 am in the courtyard of the Stuttgart Regional Court . The corpses were brought to the anatomy department of Heidelberg University for "study purposes". The remains of ten of the dead were buried in the Bergfriedhof in Heidelberg , insofar as they were not processed into preparations .

The Lechleiter group also included Albert Fritz, Richard Jatzek, Ludwig Neischwander, Bruno Rüffer and Henriette Wagner, whose execution is listed on the official list on February 24, 1943.

Frank Fahsel

On April 9, 2008, the Süddeutsche Zeitung published a letter to the editor from Frank Fahsel from Fellbach . The latter presented himself as a former judge at the Stuttgart Regional Court (1973-2004) and claimed that he had " experienced unbelievable as well as countless violations of law and infractions organized by the system " and that he had "had to experience countless judges and public prosecutors, which one can simply call 'criminal' ”. On the occasion of the so-called Saxon Marsh , he stated that he knew various judges and public prosecutors in Stuttgart who went “to the brothel ”. The letter contained neither concrete facts nor names and appeared under the title “Consistent Manipulation”.

The allegations against the Stuttgart regional court triggered a shit storm . Half a year after the letter to the editor was published, the journalist Andreas Müller stated in the Stuttgarter Zeitung: “There are now more than 600 entries under his name on the Google Internet search engine. His verdict is quoted in almost every forum of judicial critics, victims or injured parties. [...] In the meantime, Fahsel has become a kind of key witness for all those who quarrel with the judiciary for a wide variety of reasons. If even a former judge judges that way from an intimate internal perspective, they conclude, then the German legal system must really have degenerated. "

With the exception of the article by Andreas Müller, the letter to the editor was almost without exception only quoted, without any critical comments on Fahsel's statements. There were several negative statements from the judiciary and politics to the allegations of the letter writer.

The President of the Stuttgart Regional Court, Franz Steinle , saw the allegations of the former colleague as "pure defamation ". Eberhard Stilz , President of the Stuttgart Higher Regional Court , considered it “not advisable to give the letter to the editor the honor of a reply”. One can only react to an utterance “that has a certain level”. In the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Justice under Ulrich Goll (FDP) , the “grossly defamatory statements and value judgments” were considered far too general. The Federal Minister of Justice Brigitte Zypries (SPD) , who was confronted with Fahsel’s letter to the editor on the internet platform “parliamentary watch.de”, replied: “I consider the allegations against the German constitutional state and, above all, the allegation that 'countless judges, public prosecutors and Prosecutors are said to be 'criminally absurd and infamous. "

The author Hans-Joachim Selenz , who was apostrophized by Andreas Müller as “well-known”, wrote about Fahsel’s allegations: “If this were claimed by a simple citizen who is being deprived of his rights by one of these criminal law enforcement officers, he would - with a high degree of probability - soon be behind bars . Unless it is the truth [...] There is no better way to sum up the situation in the parts of the German judiciary with the help of which politics and business abuse the rule of law ”and uses Fahsel's allegations on his website to defend his to underpin one's own partial criticism of the judiciary.

The exrichter's letter to the editor continues to circulate on the Internet. There was no judicial clarification of the allegations or a substantive discourse, as Fahsel had not named any facts that could be verified afterwards. According to Andreas Müller, the ex-judge's letter was simply "noted" by the Stuttgart public prosecutor's office, the allegations were too vague to investigate in terms of content, but also too vague to be investigated for insults . Any violations of the law committed during Judge Fahsel's tenure have been statute-barred since 2009 at the latest, and any insults through letters to the editor or the comments cited since 2011 .
