The listed building was inaugurated as a courthouse in 1888.
It was used as a court for almost 110 years before it was used by the city administration for 14 years.
It has been unused since 2010 and the community is trying to sell it to an investor.
There is also a former fire station and a former police station on the same property. All 3 buildings have a common courtyard.
The police station and fire station were inaugurated in 1940 and are now also listed buildings. These buildings have also been empty since 2016. There were plans to demolish it and build student apartments there. However, this is no longer possible due to monument protection.
Unfortunately the cell block was locked and no access was possible.
There are said to have been several fires in the courthouse between May and October and security measures were massively increased.
