Landesarbeitsgericht Niedersachsen

The Landesarbeitsgericht Niedersachsen is a regional appellate court in Hannover that handles disputes between employers and employees. It reviews cases referred from lower labor courts across the state.

The court was established following the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949, when labor law became a separate judicial category. This reflected a new approach to employment disputes within the democratic legal system.

The Regional Labor Court handles cases involving collective agreements between trade unions and employers, reflecting German workplace relations practices.

Visitors with official documents can enter the courthouse at Leonhardtstraße 15 to observe public proceedings. It is best to check opening hours and court schedules before visiting to ensure access.

The court oversees a network of roughly 15 lower labor courts spread across Lower Saxony. This decentralized structure brings employment cases closer to the communities where disputes arise.
