Verwaltungsgericht Mainz, Administrative court in Mainz, Germany

The Verwaltungsgericht Mainz, the administrative court of Rhineland-Palatinate, occupies a neoclassical building from 1908 at Ernst-Ludwig-Straße 9 in the Mainz-Altstadt district. The court is divided into seven chambers. The wrought-iron skylight grille of the gate, decorated with sculpted grapes and vine leaves, still recalls the building's original use.

The building on Ernst-Ludwig-Straße in Mainz-Altstadt dates from 1908 and was built in a neoclassical style for the Grand Ducal Hessian wine domain. It served as a state wine-growing domain until 1976. After extensive conversion and extension work, the Mainz Administrative Court moved in on 15 November 1996.

The building's wine-growing past survives in the wrought-iron skylight grille of the gate, decorated with sculpted grapes and vine leaves; similar ornaments appear in the gateway. The court hears cases from Mainz, Worms, Mainz-Bingen and Alzey-Worms, and its seven chambers work under the Oberverwaltungsgericht in Koblenz.

The court occupies the building at Ernst-Ludwig-Straße 9 in the Mainz-Altstadt district, near the city centre. It is reachable by public transport; check current access arrangements before visiting, as court areas may be restricted.

The wrought-iron skylight grille above the gate is decorated with sculpted grapes and vine leaves, and similar ornaments appear in the gateway. They recall the building's origin as the Grand Ducal Hessian wine domain, which used the premises until 1976.
