The regional court of Leoben, founded on July 25, 1849, began operations on April 4, 1850. It moved to the former Dominican monastery founded in 1280 , which was then owned by the city of Leoben and has now been left to the judiciary. The building first had to be adapted for the new task and that lasted until the early summer of 1856. In addition to the regional court, the Leoben District Court, the Leoben public prosecutor and the prison were also housed in the former Dominican monastery. The district authority (until August 1932) and the regional gendarmerie command were also located here. Until 2005, the office building on Dominikanergasse housed the presidium and criminal law departments of the regional court as well as the public prosecutor's office and the Leoben prison.
