District Court of Kiel
In the course of the imperial justice reform in October 1879, the district courts were dissolved again and the district courts of Kiel, Flensburg and Altona were formed. The first President of the Kiel Regional Court, Isenbart, held this office until September 30, 1897.
The following local courts were subordinated to the Kiel Regional Court:
During the “Third Reich” a special court was set up at the Kiel Regional Court .
building
The district court was housed in the royal courthouse at Ringstrasse 19–31, at the corner of Königsweg. There was also the district court (collegial courts), the public prosecutor's office and the prison in the annex. Due to a lack of space, a new prison was built in Faeschstrasse by 1919 . In the following period, however, the transport of prisoners to and from the courts caused additional costs and encouraged people to try to escape .
Therefore, from 1922 to 1926, a new brick building was built at Schützenwall 31–35. The entrance area at Schützenwall was designed with half-columns, arched portals and balconies. In order to make external connections and escape attempts impossible, closed corridors led from the prison directly to the individual courtrooms.
The destruction of the courthouse on Ringstrasse and the increasing volume of business soon created an urgent need for space in the new building, which was shared by the district court, the public prosecutor's office and the criminal jurisdiction of the local court. Raising the main wing by one floor as part of the removal of bomb damage was not enough to relieve the strain. Several options such as the use of the Higher Regional Court building, which became vacant in 1948, or the reconstruction of the court building in Ringstrasse were considered before another house was built in Harmsstrasse right next to the new building - connected by a bridge.
At the end of the 1980s, the Kiel District Court moved into a new building at Deliusstraße 22. The public prosecutor's office moved into an additional wing in the courtyard at the rear of the prison in 1996 .
Plaque
On the first floor of the building in Harmsstrasse, a memorial plaque commemorates the Kiel lawyer and notary Wilhelm Spiegel who was shot on March 12, 1933 .
Transport links
The courthouse is located at Schützenwall 31-35, at the corner of Harmsstrasse. The Schützenwall is the extension of the federal highway 215 . There are only a few parking spaces available at the court. There is a paid parking garage in Deliusstrasse, which runs parallel to Harmsstrasse. The nearest bus stop Harmsstraße is served by bus lines 51, 52, 81 and 82 from the main train station . A wheelchair-accessible entrance is in the courtyard.
