In Neusalza, the Neusalza court office existed as the court of entry until 1879. In 1879, as part of the Reich Justice Laws, the court offices in the Kingdom of Saxony were abolished and local courts, including the Neusalza District Court, were created. The court district included Neusalza, Beiersdorf with Schmiedenthal (first extension) and Berge (second extension), Cunewalde (cathedral foundation part, Mittel- and Nieder-) with Frühlingsberg, Klipphausen, Schäfereihäuser and Zieglerthal, Dürrhennersdorf, Halbau, Köblitz, Lindenberg, Neudorf-Schönbach , Neuschönberg, Neuspremberg, Niederfriedersdorf with Neufriedersdorf, Obercunnewalde with Neudorf near Cunewalde and Bärhäuser, Oberfriedersdorf with the Hempel and Viehweg, Oppach (Neu-, Nieder- and Ober-) with the old moat, Katermautze and Spreedorf, Picka, Schönbach with the Niederschönbach manor, Lehnhäuser and Forsthaus, Schönberg, Sonnenberg, Spremberg, Taubenheim (Nieder- and Ober-) with Neutaubenheim and Wassergrund, Weigsdorf with Neuköblitz and Neuweigsdorf.[1] The district court of Neusalza was one of 18 district courts in the district of the district court of Bautzen. The district court district then comprised 20,585 inhabitants. At that time, the court had one judge position and was a medium-sized district court in the regional court district.[2]
With the merger of the two places to form Neusalza-Spremberg, the district court also changed its name to Neusalza-Spremberg district court in 1920. Due to the war, it was converted into a branch court of the Ebersbach district court in 1943 and was not made into an independent court again.
The district court used the courthouse built around 1880 (Kirchstraße 17). The wide-ranging neo-Renaissance style building is of local and architectural importance and is therefore a listed building. Today it is used as the town hall.
