history

The Braunschweig Administrative Court has its origins in the Administrative Court of the Duchy of Braunschweig , which was established by the "Braunschweig Law on the Administration of Administrative Justice" and which began its work on April 1, 1896. He was the only instance in the area of ​​administrative jurisdiction in the Duchy of Braunschweig and the later Free State . The Nazis came to power in 1933 , and three members were removed from their offices under the so-called law to restore the civil service . The powers of the administrative courts were transferred back to the administrative authorities through two Führer decrees . If these did not allow the administrative legal process for complaints, administrative actions were no longer subject to judicial control. During the bombing raid on Braunschweig in the night of October 14-15, 1944 , almost all files and the valuable library were destroyed by a fire in the courthouse. The case law of the Administrative Court finally came to a standstill in 1945. It was reopened on October 23, 1947 by the British military government . Ordinance No. 165 made the Administrative Court on September 15, 1948, the Regional Administrative Court in Braunschweig, one of the three regional administrative courts of the State of Lower Saxony. However, he was only able to maintain his independence for a short time. When the State of Lower Saxony was founded in 1949, today's Braunschweig Administrative Court was established. With the establishment of the Göttingen Administrative Court in 1993, the previous jurisdiction for the districts of Göttingen, Northeim and Osterode ended.
