history

As part of the establishment of social justice in Germany, the Lower Saxony Regional Social Court was established on January 1, 1954, with its seat in Celle. In the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, the State Social Court of Bremen was created at the same time. From 1955 to 1990, the federal states of Lower Saxony, Bremen and Hesse had also agreed to concentrate legal disputes over miners' cases at a senate of the Lower Saxony State Social Court. This state treaty was however dissolved in 1990 as far as it concerns the federal state of Hesse; it persists between Lower Saxony and Bremen.

The state social courts of both federal states were merged with effect from April 1, 2002 by means of a state treaty between Bremen and Lower Saxony dated December 10, 2001. Since then, the court has been called the State Social Court of Lower Saxony-Bremen .
