Justizzentrum Wien Mitte, Judicial center in Wien Mitte, Austria.
The Justizzentrum Wien Mitte is an 87-metre office tower with a twisted head structure and two 28-metre side buildings, partly raised on a platform over the tracks of Wien Mitte station. It has 24 upper floors, up to four basement levels and 28,901 m² of usable space, designed by O&O Baukunst.
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 tower's head is a twisted structure, and two 28-metre side buildings stand partly on stilts. Part of the complex rests on a platform built over the tracks of Wien Mitte station, and the usable area totals 28,901 m² including garages. The courts moved here from the Riemergasse building.
