Staatsanwaltschaft Bochum

The office was established as part of Germany's legal reforms that separated prosecution from judicial decision-making. Its development reflects the reorganization of criminal justice in the post-war era.

The institution maintains strict protocols for public interaction, reflecting German administrative precision and legal transparency in criminal proceedings.

The office can be reached by telephone during business hours, with different departments handling specific case types. Callers should inquire about the appropriate department for their particular matter before visiting.

The office operates specialized departments dedicated to environmental crimes, positioning it as a regional authority on ecological violations. This focus extends its role beyond standard criminal prosecution into protection of natural resources.
