The Superior Court (KG) is the highest Berlin court of ordinary jurisdiction. It is the Higher Regional Court of the State of Berlin.

The dish is from the mid-15th century. Century by the Brandenburg Elector Friedrich II. established Hof-Kammergericht emerged. It was first mentioned in a document in 1468 and is considered the oldest working court in Germany. From 1735, the newly built college house served as the seat of the Superior Court. In September 1913 it moved into a new office building in the Schöneberger suburb. The house is located in the district of Tempelhof-Schöneberg, has been a listed building since June 1993 and also houses other judicial institutions.

History of the Court of Appeal: The Court of Appeal is the oldest German court with uninterrupted activity. It was first mentioned in a document in 1468. Already in the middle of the 14th At the beginning of the 19th century, however, reports were made of the chamberlain's chamber, which existed as a court in Tangermünde at the court of the Margraves of Brandenburg, who were also archchambers of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. On the one hand, the objects and persons who were not subject to court enforcement and could only be prosecuted by the sovereign himself were subject to his jurisdiction. On the other hand, the Supreme Court was later until 1735 the supreme judicial authority in Kurbrandenburg and in the later state of Prussia. It was created because of the electoral privilege, according to which no appeals were possible in the imperial courts against judgments of electoral courts (Ius de non appellando). This institution served as the supreme appellate instance for the princely courts, which were established in the elector's sphere of rule in place of the imperial courts (particularly the imperial chamber court set up from 1495).

From 1698 to 1735 the Superior Court had its seat in the old college building at Brüderstraße 1 in Kölln. In 1735 it became independent of the now royal court and moved into the new college building on Lindenstraße in Friedrichstadt, which was expanded by King Friedrich Wilhelm I. The king had the first large administrative building of his reign built here by Philipp Gerlach in order to bring together the various civil, criminal, clerical and corporate courts under one roof.[2] Since the late 20th The baroque college building has been part of the Jewish Museum Berlin since the 19th century.

late 18th At the beginning of the 19th century, the Court of Appeal was divided into the Hausvogteigericht (minor matters), the Instruction Senate (with criminal deputation and civil deputation, alongside the Pupils' Collegium) and the Oberappellationssenat. A well-known Superior Court process in the 18th In the 19th century, the preacher Johann Heinrich Schulz (called Zopfschultz) appealed against his suspension from service (1792). ETA Hoffmann also worked as a judge in this building during this period (1816). In another lawsuit, which is considered an indication of the independence of the Supreme Court, the king was defeated when he wanted to charge the city of Berlin with the costs of paving the paths.

One of the most important proceedings of the Superior Court in the 19th Century was the Poland trial (1847). It was the first public political trial in Prussia, but because of the large number of defendants it did not take place in the courthouse, but in the new cell prison on Lehrter Strasse.

The Superior Court as a court of appeal: In 1849, after the March Revolution, the organization of the courts in Prussia was reorganized and systematically reorganized. The ordinance on the abolition of private jurisdiction and the eximated place of jurisdiction and on the other organization of the courts of 2. On January 1, 1849, patrimonial jurisdiction was abolished and courts of appeal were uniformly set up as intermediate instances. The Berlin Court of Appeal served as the Superior Court. For reasons of tradition, it was not renamed the Berlin Appeal Court, but kept its name. The district courts were now subordinate to the Superior Court, which were basically set up for each district. The Berlin Court of Appeal was superior to the Superior Court.

The jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal included the administrative district of Potsdam without a small part of the district of Beeskow-Storkow, part of the districts of Königsberg id Neumark, Lebus and Lübben from the administrative district of Frankfurt and part of the district of Jerichow from the administrative district of Magdeburg. There were 14 circuit courts in 5 circuit courts.

The Supreme Court according to the Courts Constitution Act: When the Courts Constitution Act came into force in 1879, nine regional courts (Berlin I and II, Cottbus, Frankfurt a. O., Guben, Landsberg a. W., Potsdam, Prenzlau and Neuruppin) were assigned to the Courts Constitution Act.

In 1913 the Superior Court received a purpose-built building at Heinrich-von-Kleist-Park (the former botanical garden) in the Schöneberger suburb (see below).

Until 1918, the Privy Council of Justice existed as a special department, before which the members of the Prussian royal family and the Hohenzollern family had their personal jurisdiction. In addition, six judges of the Court of Appeal, together with five administrative lawyers, formed the Court of Justice for deciding on conflicts of jurisdiction (cf. § 17 GVG).

Eduard Tigges became President of the Superior Court in 1922. Together with the State Secretary of the Reich Ministry of Justice, Curt Joël, he was the driving force behind the Weimar reform of matrimonial property law and a supporter of the community of accrued gains.
