Bayerischer Verwaltungsgerichtshof

The Bavarian Administrative Court is a court on Ludwigstrasse in Munich that handles disputes between citizens and government agencies. The building displays classical architecture with symmetrical facades and sits opposite the Bavarian State Library.

The court was established in 1879 and was pioneering as a specialized authority for administrative disputes in the German legal system. Its creation followed reforms that separated administrative conflicts from regular courts.

The court maintains nineteen senates and specialized chambers, reflecting Germany's commitment to specialized administrative jurisdiction within its legal system.

The building is easily walkable and located in an area with good public transport connections. Visitors should check in advance whether access to specific areas may be restricted.

Nine judges from this court simultaneously work at the Bavarian Constitutional Court, linking the two institutions together. This dual role creates a rare overlap between administrative and constitutional law.
