Hessisches Landesarbeitsgericht, Regional labor court in Frankfurt, Germany
The Hessian Regional Labor Court is a specialized institution for employment disputes located in the east wing of a building complex at Gutleutstrasse 130. It operates with multiple chambers that handle cases concerning employment relationships, compensation, and other labor-related matters.
The institution was established on October 1, 1946, following a decree from the military government of Greater Hesse. It originally started with two chambers and gradually expanded to meet the growing demand for labor law decisions in the region.
The court serves as a place where workers and employers settle their disagreements, and its rulings influence how the employment relationship works across the state. Visitors can observe how the institution functions as a neutral forum for resolving labor conflicts.
Plan to arrive early, as security checks are required at the entrance and sessions typically follow strict schedules. The lobby displays information about ongoing hearings, making it easy to find which courtrooms are in session and when.
In March 2024, the court ruled that train drivers striking against Deutsche Bahn were allowed to continue their industrial action. This decision demonstrated the institution's role in resolving high-profile disputes that affect the entire country.
