Justizzentrum Wien Mitte

The Justizzentrum Wien Mitte is a high-rise judicial building with 58 stories above ground and 4 basement levels in central Vienna, rising prominently above the surrounding streetscape. The upper levels house courtrooms and administrative spaces, while the lower floors contain mechanical and technical systems that support the building's operations.

Designed by the architectural firm O&O Baukunst, this judicial center opened in 2003 as part of Vienna's modernization of its legal infrastructure. The completion marked a shift toward centralizing the city's court functions in a single high-rise facility.

The building functions as a central hub for legal proceedings, housing multiple courts and administrative offices that serve the Viennese judicial system.

This is an official judicial facility, so public access is limited and requires a specific reason such as attending a court hearing or conducting official business. Visitors should check in advance about any security requirements or access procedures, as strict protocols apply to entering a functioning courthouse.

The construction involved specialized facade consulting from Werner Sobek Group, a renowned firm in innovative building envelope solutions for high-rise structures. This technical expertise combined with the expertise of two major construction firms enabled the project to achieve its ambitious scale and modern design.
