About
The Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf is a superior court in Germany that renders second‑instance judgments on cases of national and international importance. It reviews decisions from district and local courts in the Düsseldorf, Duisburg, Mönchengladbach, Kleve, Krefeld, and Wuppertal jurisdictions, and handles specialized matters such as procurement, patent, antitrust, and state‑security cases. The court also hosts the Düsseldorf chamber of the Unified Patent Court, giving it a unique European dimension. With roughly 6,500 staff—including 1,300 judges—it plays a pivotal role in upholding the rule of law, providing independent and neutral justice for citizens across the region.
