Palace of Justice

Justizpalast

The Nuremberg Palace of Justice is an early 20th-century judicial complex in Nuremberg that houses multiple courts and the public prosecutor's offices. It was chosen as the location for the post‑war Nuremberg trials (1945–1949) because the building survived the bombing and contained a large prison complex.

As it stood in 1946

What Palace of Justice looked like in its prime.

A long, blocky civic complex of light sandstone façades and steep red‑tiled roofs with repeating stepped gables and dormer windows. The massing is composed of parallel wings forming courtyards, with tall, regularly spaced windows and broad entrances reached by stone steps. Rooflines are sharply pitched and punctuated by triangular gables; the complex sits directly on an urban street with a paved forecourt and enclosed service/prison yards to one side.
