history

With the Royal Decree of January 2, 1849, the jurisdiction privileges and patrimonial courts were abolished and the court structure in the Province of Brandenburg was reorganized. In Berlin, the Berlin City Court was created as the entrance court for the Berlin district and the Berlin district court as the district court for the Berlin suburbs. This resulted in the peculiarity that the district court of Berlin was outside its actual judicial district .

With the law of March 4, 1878, the Court Constitution Act was introduced in Prussia on October 1, 1878 . This created two Berlin regional courts: Regional Court I for the urban district, and Regional Court II for the surrounding area. The District Court of Berlin was converted into the District Court of Berlin II and was one of the 14 district courts of District Court II.

It was subordinate to the Regional Court Berlin II and this to the Berlin Chamber Court . With 13 judge posts (as of 1880) it was the largest district court in the district court. Judgment days were also held in Trebbin .

District Court District II formed the closest neighborhood from the Niederbarnim and Teltow districts, unless they were assigned to the two district courts in Charlottenburg and Niederbarnim. It comprised up to 28 civil departments.

The first building at the current location was the "commercial building" built from 1882 to 1885 according to plans by Heinrich Herrmann under the construction management of Otto Lorenz for the district court and district court Berlin II on Halleschen Ufer, the place where the new building from 1994 Oswald is today Mathias Ungers stands for the family court.

With the rapid growth of Berlin, the district court of Berlin II also grew. Between 1883 and 1899 the number of residents in the district court district doubled.

The division into district court I (for the district of the district court center), district court II (southern surroundings) took place in 1899. The district court Berlin II was also divided. The remaining core of the Berlin II District Court was continued as the Berlin-Tempelhof District Court and was subordinate to the District Court II.

In 1915, construction work began on an extension on Möckernstrasse , the oldest part of the current building, which was completed in 1921. In 1945 the part of the building on Halleschen Ufer was bombed out .

After the Second World War , the judicial organization was reorganized at short notice. The Soviet occupying power set up a district court in every district of Berlin. Accordingly, the Tempelhof District Court was established on June 1, 1945 . The court district also shrank because a Kreuzberg district court was also formed. The district courts were later named district court. At its 12th meeting on September 27, 1945 , the Allied Command decided on the judicial structure of the occupied city. One returned to the traditional division with three instances. Again 12 local courts were formed. The Kreuzberg District Court was dissolved and incorporated into the Tempelhof District Court.

After the political change in 1989 it was necessary to establish a uniform judicial structure for the whole of Berlin and at the same time to transfer the GDR judiciary in terms of personnel and organization to constitutional structures. This was done in two stages: In a first step, the city district courts were overturned on October 3rd. The seven West Berlin district courts remained, whose districts were expanded to include the East Berlin districts. The city district courts continued to operate as branches of these courts. The Tempelhof-Kreuzberg District Court was thus given responsibility for the East Berlin districts of Friedrichshain and Lichtenberg . In a second step, five district courts were set up in the former East Berlin districts in 1991 in order to maintain a court organization for the whole of Berlin. This created the Lichtenberg District Court (for Lichtenberg) and the Berlin-Mitte District Court (which included Friedrichshain) and the area of ​​the Tempelhof-Kreuzberg District Court was reduced accordingly.

The former governing mayor Klaus Wowereit performed part of his legal clerkship here. However, the court is incorrectly referred to in his biography as the Tempelhof-Schöneberg District Court .

In 2012, around 600 people were employed in the district court.
