Hessischer Verwaltungsgerichtshof

The Hessian Administrative High Court is a judicial institution at Brüder-Grimm-Platz in Kassel that handles administrative law cases and public matters. The building operates as both an appeals court and a first-instance court for major infrastructure projects.

The building served as the office of the upper president of the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau from 1868 to 1943 before being converted into a court. After the war, it took on its current role as an administrative court.

The location near Brüder-Grimm-Platz connects this site to Kassel's literary heritage, as the area recalls the city's role in German cultural history. Visitors walking through the administrative district can sense this historical connection in the street names and surroundings.

The court is open Monday through Friday and accepts both in-person visits and electronic document submissions. Visitors planning to attend hearings should check in advance, as special access rules may apply.

The court handles not only appeals but also serves as a first-instance court for major projects like Frankfurt Airport expansions. This special role makes it an important venue for infrastructure decisions affecting the wider region.
