It will have a usable area of around 40,000 square meters and will cost the Free State a good 400 million euros.
The new criminal justice center is currently being built on Leonrodplatz.
The heart of the Bavarian judiciary will in future
beat
in a
new magnificent building
in Munich-Neuhausen.
However, that will take a while.
The
400 million euro project
will be enormously delayed.
The mega-complex will house
Germany's largest courtroom
.
It won't start before 2024, however.
Munich - A state-of-the-art location and the best working conditions: This is what Justice Minister Georg Eisenreich (50, CSU) expects from the
construction of the new criminal justice center
, which is currently being built on Leonrodplatz.
The building will have a floor area of around 40,000 square meters and
cost
the Free State a good
400 million euros
.
It is "the largest building construction project under construction in the Free State of Bavaria," says Eisenreich.
A mammoth project that is not without its problems.
The groundbreaking ceremony in Neuhausen took place in November 2015, but the justice center will probably not be finished until the second half of 2023, "so that after extensive testing and adjustment we can probably
put
the building
into operation
in the
summer of 2024
," says Eisenreich.
Munich: New criminal justice center still under construction - at least six authorities are moving in
With such a large construction project, "deadline risks can of course never be completely ruled out," added the minister.
"If unforeseeable events such as company insolvencies or review procedures occur, this may have an impact on the schedule." In the
Corona crisis
, the construction site at the corner of Dachauer and Schwere-Reiter-Strasse has not come to a standstill.
Originally, however, the building was supposed to
be ready in 2020
- but that didn't work out, partly because pollutants were found in the ground on the former military site.
The shell construction work is currently underway on Leonrodplatz and is expected to be completed in the coming spring.
"The facade construction work began in autumn 2020," says Eisenreich.
In three years at the latest
, the building should be completely finished and handed over to the judiciary.
The
first processes could take place
from
mid-2024
.
At least six authorities will then be represented in the new mega-building: the Higher Regional Court, the Regional Courts of Munich I and II, the Munich District Court and the two public prosecutors I and II. "We are currently examining whether the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office * is better housed outside the criminal justice center can be “, says Eisenreich.
There, for example, the investigators who hunt agitators on the Internet work - currently on Karlstrasse.
They will probably stay there because, on the one hand, the space required in the new criminal justice center in Eisenreich has "increased since planning began".
On the other hand, cybercrime is the fastest growing type of crime, as the current crime statistics show.
Munich: New criminal justice center with glass facades and Germany's largest courtroom
Visualizations show how the
stylish new criminal justice
center will be: Lots of glass on the facade, several inner courtyards and 54 courtrooms will be created - including Germany's largest with 300 square meters, which enables processes with 200 people including the latest technology.
"It can be divided by a mobile partition and is used for particularly high-profile processes," says Eisenreich.
The building will have seven floors at its highest point,
and
it will accommodate
1,300 judicial employees and 1,250 people involved in litigation
.
Prison corridors are planned in the basement, and 388 underground parking spaces will be created in the second basement.
Up to 200 workers are working on the building so that Munich's judiciary gets the best possible conditions.
Hardly anyone will miss the old criminal justice center on Stiglmaierplatz (built in 1974) - it is musty and ailing.
The new Elementum office building is also slowly taking shape in Munich.
