Palace of Justice, Courthouse in Nuremberg, Germany
The Palace of Justice is a courthouse complex in Nuremberg built in Renaissance Revival style, characterized by a distinctive central dome and intricate stone detailing. The multi-building complex houses the appellate court, regional court, local court, and public prosecutor's office.
The courthouse was constructed in the early 1900s as a regional judicial center and gained international prominence after World War II. The building became the location of major post-war trials that shaped how military leadership was held accountable.
The building serves as a working courthouse for regional legal institutions while also functioning as a memorial site. Its dual role reflects how the space continues to serve justice and remembrance simultaneously.
Visitors can access the memorial exhibition on the upper floors dedicated to post-war judicial proceedings and related historical materials. Plan enough time to explore the multi-floor layout and view the restored original courtroom space.
The courtroom where the major post-war trials occurred was preserved in its original layout until recently and now features a media installation that recreates the proceedings. Visitors can see the exact positioning of judges, defendants, and witnesses as they were arranged historically.
