Landgericht Berlin

The Landgericht Berlin is a regional court (Landgericht) in Berlin, Germany, part of the ordinary court system. It handles a wide range of civil and criminal cases within its jurisdiction. Recently, the Landgericht Berlin has been in the news due to its involvement in two separate cases. One case concerns an anti-discrimination lawsuit filed by a Jewish student against the Freie Universität Berlin, which the court ultimately dismissed. The student had claimed discrimination following an attack by a fellow student. The other news item, while not directly involving the Landgericht Berlin as a defendant, highlights a related issue of professional conduct. It reports on the resignation of the Vice President of the Bundespsychotherapeutenkammer after a video leak. These cases demonstrate the Landgericht Berlin's role in adjudicating matters related to discrimination, university responsibility, and indirectly, professional ethics within the broader legal landscape of Berlin and Germany.
