The Koblenz Higher Regional Court is housed in the (opposite) properties at Governmentstrasse 7, part of the former Prussian government building, and Stresemannstrasse 1, part of the former Higher Presidium of the Rhine Province, on the banks of the Rhine in Koblenz. Both buildings were originally built between 1902 and 1910 not as courthouses, but as administrative buildings for the Prussian state administration in the Rhine Province.The building at Stresemannstrasse 1 was badly damaged by bombing raids during the Second World War and was rebuilt from 1947 onwards (the exterior was largely true to the original). It was built in neo-baroque style as an official villa for the President of the Rhine Province. The railings for the main staircase and the main door are works in the workshop of the Godesberg blacksmith Georg Gernhard (1860–1943).[6] From 1920 to 1929 the building was the official residence of the High Commissioner of the Inter-Allied High Commission for the Rhineland (Haut Commissaire dans les Provinces du Rhin) Paul Tirard.The building at Governmentstrasse 7, however, suffered no serious war damage. In particular, the representative hall, which is now used as a meeting room for court hearings, was preserved. The neo-Romanesque building was the official villa for the district president of the Koblenz administrative district.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberlandesgericht_Koblenz

Pretty building that makes you think of a kind of knight's castle rather than a high court.

Even the building is not lost in the multitude of great buildings.
