history

The Dresden Regional Court was first established on March 1, 1879 during the time of King Albert and began its work on October 1, 1879, when the uniform imperial justice laws came into force. From that day, the Reichsgericht in Leipzig and the Higher Regional Court in Dresden also existed . The Dresden Regional Court largely took over the tasks of the former Dresden Court of Appeal , which had existed as one of four Saxon courts of this type since 1835. The first district court president was the former district court director and Privy Councilor Carl Louis Wehinger , who remained in office until 1895. During this time, 14 district courts were subordinate to the regional court.

From 1879 the seat of the regional court as well as the higher regional court was the regional court building in Pillnitzer Strasse in the Pirnaische Vorstadt , to which the Mathildenstrasse detention center was directly connected. This building, which was only 500 meters southwest of today's regional court, was built from 1876 to 1878 according to designs by Carl Adolph Canzler , who later became the architect of the Albertinum . It was finally destroyed in 1945 by the air raids on Dresden and later demolished.

Since 1907, the criminal chambers of the court had their seat in the Royal Saxon District Court building on Münchner Platz , which also served as a place of execution. In 1952, the regional courts in the GDR were abolished and the jurisdiction was reorganized through the establishment of district and district courts . The Dresden District Court had its seat on Münchner Platz until 1956; today the Münchner Platz Dresden memorial is located there . The district court then moved into the former district court building at Lothringer Strasse 1 .

On January 1, 1993, the Dresden Regional Court was re-established. It emerged from the district court.

On July 1, 2009, there was a sensational incident in the Dresden Regional Court: In a criminal appeal , the defendant Alex Wiens attacked the Egyptian witness Marwa El-Sherbini with a knife and killed her. From October 26th to November 11th, 2009, the main hearing against the perpetrator took place in the same building.
