Federal Administrative Court Leipzig: A journey into the heart of German justice

The court upholds the unity of law in the Federal Republic of Germany and is therefore at the heart of our democracy. Discover German legal history up close in this fascinating building complex.
The Federal Administrative Court is the highest administrative court in Germany. In 14 senates, judges decide on disputes in administrative law and ensure the further development of the law. The certified exclusive tour takes you on a journey through judicial history to important judgments and historical decisions, such as the infamous Reichstag fire trial of 1933 or the trial of October 1907, in which Karl Liebknecht had to defend himself for the publication of his writings.

Built in 1879 during the Wilhelmine era as the Imperial Court of Justice, the building is the judicial tradition cast in imposing architecture. Impressive national coats of arms and imperial paintings await you in the large courtroom. You can also find out more about the official dress that still makes federal judges recognizable today: a crimson robe with a beret.

The tour guides will also tell you about the building's changing use, from an art museum during the GDR era to its return as the seat of the Federal Court in 2002. The tour along the cornerstone of German jurisdiction combines judicial history, architecture and the current status quo of jurisdiction.
