“Did someone say they needed a judge?” you might ask, chuckling. While this grand building behind me isn’t handing out parking tickets, it is the esteemed Bayerischer Verwaltungsgerichtshof. This is where disputes between citizens and the Bavarian state are settled. Established in 1879, the Bayerischer Verwaltungsgerichtshof has witnessed over a century of Bavarian history. Housed in the former Damenstiftsgebäude, a stunning neoclassical gem designed by Friedrich von Gärtner, its history is as fascinating as its architecture. Did you know this court was once the only institution in Bavaria separate from the administration to handle legal disputes? Thankfully, after World War II, a new system established lower-level administrative courts. This eased the Bayerischer Verwaltungsgerichtshof’s workload, which had been flooded by a unique situation. From 1979 to 1998, they were solely responsible for all asylum cases in Germany. Interesting, isn’t it, how a place so stately plays such a vital role in ensuring justice within the framework of the law?
