History
The Higher Regional Court was established on 1 October 1879, replacing the 1835 established Oberappellationsgericht (High Court of Appeal). In 1945, it's building, the "Landgerichtsgebäude Pillnitzer Straße" was destroyed during the bombing of Dresden in World War II.[3]
In 1952, the court was dissolved due to a law established by East Germany, stating that the courts jurisdiction would be replaced with the Supreme Court of East Germany.[4][3]
On 1 January 1993, the Higher Regional Court of Dresden was re-established.[3]
