According to the Saxon law recorded in the Sachsenspiegel, court was to be held in the open air so that it happened under the eyes of the public. Court leaves did justice to this principle, which was intended to avoid secrecy and arbitrariness, and at the same time offered the court assembly protection from the inclemency of the weather.

There are beautiful views because the arbor is on a hill.
There is also a beautiful stone bench here, which unfortunately was damaged.
Incidentally, this court arbor originally stood near the Ephraim Palais in Mitte, but since a new one was being built there, the old one came here to Babelsberg.

The picturesque court arbor on the Lennéhöhe in Babelsberg Park was created from parts of the old Berlin City Hall, which was demolished around 1860. The citizens of Berlin presented the 13th-century building to Kaiser Wilhelm I, who had a fondness for the Middle Ages.

The Berlin court arbor from the 13th century was removed in 1871 and rebuilt here in Babelsberger Park (and rebuilt in a historicizing way). Here it has the character of a pavilion on a plateau. Certainly one of the most impressive places in Babelsberger Park.
