Verwaltungsgericht Darmstadt

The Verwaltungsgericht Darmstadt is a court that handles disputes between citizens and government agencies across a large region. It manages cases from Darmstadt, Offenbach, and several surrounding counties in its jurisdiction.

The court was established on October 15, 1946, after the American Military Government issued an order to create it. Under the direction of Ferdinand Kirnberger, it began operations and became part of the post-war justice system.

The court maintains an archive at the Hessian State Archives, containing documents from the 1940s including records about judicial robes and numerous case files.

The building is open on weekdays with varying hours depending on which day you visit. For emergencies or outside regular hours, visitors can contact the local police station.

In its early years, the court handled many cases involving housing requisitions during the post-war reconstruction period. These cases reflected the challenges the population faced as the region rebuilt itself.
