Verwaltungsgericht Göttingen

The Göttingen Administrative Court is a judicial institution that handles legal disputes between private citizens and government agencies across two districts in Lower Saxony. It reviews administrative decisions and determines whether public authorities have acted within the bounds of the law.

The court was established as one of seven administrative courts in Lower Saxony and forms part of Germany's judicial system for public law matters. It developed alongside the broader organization of regional court systems in the Federal Republic.

The court reflects German legal traditions through its structured chamber system, where thirteen judges work to resolve administrative cases following specific jurisdictional rules.

The court operates an electronic filing system for cases and maintains standard business hours from Monday through Friday. Before visiting, confirm whether your matter requires an appointment or if you can access information without one.

The court serves approximately 500,000 residents across its jurisdiction, operating with 31 staff members organized into four specialized chambers.
