List of judges at the People's Court

This list of judges at the People's Court in Berlin only includes full-time judges at the People's Court . Lawyers who worked as judges and public prosecutors at the VGH are also listed. If judges continued to work in the legal service in the Federal Republic of Germany or in the western sectors of Berlin after 1945, these times are mentioned. The exact official titles of the judges are not listed because they do not provide any information about their tasks and functions at the VGH. Most of the time they held the rank of local court councilor, regional court director and others at the VGH. If the title and / or a function of the judge is named, it was held by them at the VGH.
