Justizzentrum, Modern courthouse in Sülz, Germany.
Description
The Justizzentrum is a modern courthouse in Cologne's Sülz district standing 105 meters tall across 25 floors. Its facade combines concrete, glass, and steel in a clean geometric design that clearly distinguishes it from older judicial buildings.
History
The building was completed in 1981 and replaced older courthouse locations scattered throughout Cologne. It was constructed on the site of a former railway yard that served as a terminal until 1974.
