With the enactment of the Judicature Act in 1879 passed two Berlin district courts: the district court I for the county, the district court II for the surrounding area. 1899 was the division in District Court I ( for the district of the district court center), District Court II (southern environs ) and District Court III ( Rest of the surrounding area ). 1920, the county courts were II and III ( in terms of area around today's city-state equivalent) responsible for other parts of the city due to the combination of different communities to Greater Berlin. The district court I was then Littenstraße resident in Grunerstraße / New Friedrichstrasse 16/17 today. The district court II had its headquarters in the building of today's district court Tempelhof- Kreuzberg Möckernstrasse 128-130/Hallesches 29-31 and was in charge of the district court district Köpenick, Neukölln, Lichterfelde, Schöneberg and Tempelhof and southern parts of the district, especially Kreuzberg. The District Court III was at the Tegeler Weg 17-21 in the building in which after the division of the city in charge of the three western sectors of Berlin, the Berlin District Court was established; to the district of the district court Berlin III included the District Court Districts Spandau, Charlottenburg, Lichtenberg, Pankow, Wedding. All Trial Chambers of the three county courts were in the Moabit Criminal Court at the Tower Street, furnished.

In July 1933, the provisional Prussian Minister of Justice Hanns Kerrl put the three District Courts together at the uniform district court in Berlin. For the first President of the District Court of Berlin, he appointed Richard Hoffmann, until May 1933 Attorney in Magdeburg.
