Address and contact information

Legal application service

A mailbox is available outside of the Joint Acceptance Point's opening hours (Monday to Friday, 6:15 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.). This is located at one of the doors at the main entrance to the Civil Justice Building and is intended solely for mail to the Hamburg District Court and Regional Court. The mailbox is opened at 1:00 p.m. when the Acceptance Point closes. A timer in the mailbox automatically closes a dividing flap at midnight. The mailbox is emptied the next working day, and the contents are stamped with the appropriate incoming mail stamp.
