The Palace of Justice was built in Munich between 1891 and 1897. The project was designed by the famous city architect Friedrich von Thiersch, who created the building in the Neo-Baroque style with added Renaissance elements.
Interestingly, to this day the palace still belongs to its original owners — the building is occupied by the Bavarian Supreme Court, the Bavarian State Ministry of Justice, as well as a large number of chambers of the Munich Regional Court.
However, the Palace of Justice is of interest not only from an architectural and administrative point of view, but also from a historical one: it was here that the trial of members of the anti-fascist underground group White Rose took place, which operated during the Third Reich and was destroyed in 1943. A high-profile trial of Vera Brühne, the former wife of composer Lothar Brühne, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of her lover, also took place within the walls of the Palace of Justice.
