The courthouse was built between 1902 and 1906 as the seat of the Bautzen Regional and District Courts and the Public Prosecutor's Office. After 1945, the building was initially used entirely by Russian occupation forces, and it wasn't until 1949 that a wing was cleared for the Regional and District Courts. In 1952, the police also moved into the building. After the withdrawal of the Russian facilities, the Ministry for State Security moved into this wing in 1954. After 1989, the police initially used the entire building; today, it houses the Regional and District Courts, the police, and the Public Prosecutor's Office.Source: architektur-bildarchiv.de/image/Amts--und-Landgericht-Bautzen-26199.html
