District Court Bochum (building)
The first regional court in Bochum was a court building built from 1889 to 1892 in what was then Schillerstraße (today Junggesellenstraße) in Bochum . It was destroyed during World War II.
history
When the Prussian court system was introduced, the city of Bochum initially received only one district court in place of the former district court . A chamber for criminal matters and one for commercial matters were later added to this. Due to the efforts of the city as well as the Bochum Chamber of Commerce , the establishment of a regional court could be obtained in 1888. The underlying law of April 3, 1888 was one of the few that Emperor Friedrich III. made out. At that time, a good 40,000 people lived in the area of the city of Bochum.
The Prussian Ministry of Public Works was responsible for such state building projects. There, the chief building director Karl Friedrich Endell drew up sketches, which the local district building inspector, building officer Theodor Haarmann , worked out into a design with the help of the government master builder Friedrich Kullrich . Kullrich also took over the construction work under the supervision of District Building Inspector Albert Kiss , who had taken over the position of Haarmann, who has since retired. The construction site chosen was a location free on all four sides in the immediate vicinity of the district court and the judicial prison . While construction was still being carried out, a design change was made in May 1890 by replacing the originally planned inner courtyard of 9 by 6 meters with a covered waiting hall of 9.42 by 10.67 meters. In addition, the planned main staircase from the ground floor to the second floor was abandoned. Instead, it was decided to use a three-armed open staircase , which was integrated into the waiting hall and connected the ground floor with the first floor. The connecting staircase from there to the second floor was relocated in two separate stairwells , one on the west and one on the east side.
architecture
In the forms of German Renaissance building was held flat with leather yellow brick veneered, all architectural elements - with the exception of basalt - base - red Eifel sandstone produced. In order to meet the cost estimate, the roof, which was originally made of iron, was ultimately made of wood. The roofing was done with Moselle slate , while the waiting hall was covered with raw glass . According to the project planning, the height of the individual floors from the floor to the ceiling above was 3 meters in the basement, 4.75 meters on the ground floor, 4.80 meters on the first floor and 4.55 meters on the second floor. According to the statistical evidence of listed government buildings, however, the second floor had a height of 5 meters, the conference rooms a height of 6 meters.
The room layout on the floors provided for the cellar next to part of the porter 's apartment, the waiting cells of the defendants for the criminal chamber and the jury, as well as the central heating. The ground floor accommodated the rooms of the criminal chamber and the first floor that of the civil chamber and the jury court. The second floor of the rooms were prosecutor , the court recorder and a second civil chamber hall.
building-costs
The construction costs were estimated at 450,000 marks. This included 25,500 marks for the design of the ancillary facilities, but not the cost of the interior furnishings of 50,000 marks. According to the final bill, 1227.9 m² were built over. According to this, the total costs from the cost estimate of 491,700 marks were compared with actual construction costs of 472,142 marks. These consisted of 424,776 marks for the building, 26,082 marks for the interior and 21,284 marks for the ancillary facilities. The costs for the pure building were accordingly 345.90 marks per m² or 19.50 marks per m³. The cost of construction management, which was 7.1% of the total volume, amounted to 33,325 marks.
Successor buildings
The district court building, which was destroyed during the Second World War, was replaced by a new building from 1952 to 1954 (inauguration on October 3, 1953). The district court building, which was badly damaged in the war, could be rebuilt. However, it was demolished in the early 1970s for the extensive new judicial buildings (building for the public prosecutor's office and district court). The new regional court building, oriented towards the Westring, was built in 1971/1972 and 1974 to 1978 according to a design by the Dortmund architects Hans Magoley and Will Schwarz on behalf of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
A new building was erected on the Ostring as a replacement for the court building that still exists today but is in need of renovation. The Justizzentrum Bochum has the State and district court as well as the labor court Bochum , the prosecutor Bochum and the probation brought together spatially. This was preceded in 2008 by a limited implementation competition from which the Berlin-based Hascher + Jehle Planungsgesellschaft mbH (now Hascher Jehle Architektur ) emerged victorious.
