Landgericht (Germany)
The judiciary of Germany is the system of courts that interprets and applies the law in Germany. The German legal system is a civil law mostly based on a comprehensive compendium of statutes, as compared to the common law systems.

Together with the two wings of the remand prison, the sprawling complex extends over an entire block.

The outer walls are inspired by French Renaissance architecture, especial ...
