Verwaltungsgericht Freiburg, Administrative court in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
The Administrative Court of Freiburg is a judicial institution for administrative disputes located in a modern building complex shared with the Labor Court. It handles cases between citizens and government agencies covering matters such as education, police regulations, and civil service issues.
The court was established in 1947 as one of three initial administrative courts in Baden and has served as an important venue for administrative decisions since then. It relocated to its current location in 2001 after operating from multiple buildings throughout its history.
The court's name refers to its seat in Freiburg and its role as one of four administrative courts in Baden-Württemberg. Its six chambers hear cases from the Regierungsbezirk Freiburg, covering the regions of Hochrhein-Bodensee, Südlicher Oberrhein and Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg. The court is subordinate to the Verwaltungsgerichtshof in Mannheim.
The court sits directly at the Tennenbacher Straße stop of tram line 3. Two Frelo bike-share stations are a block away: one on Jakobistraße to the north, one at the Katholische Hochschule to the east. Since 2001 the court has shared its Habsburgerstraße building, on the former Kepler-Gymnasium site, with the Labor Court.
The court's jurisdiction covers the entire Regierungsbezirk Freiburg, which includes the three regions Hochrhein-Bodensee, Südlicher Oberrhein and Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg. From July 2019 it temporarily received extra judges and chambers for asylum cases, housed until December 2022 at Konrad-Goldmann-Straße 8 in the Unterwiehre.
