The building was constructed in the early 1940s as a market hall. It suffered great damage in a fire in 1950. Reconstruction works took years, especially when the 1950s famine broke out. In 1955, the federal state introduced state courts and the old market hall was made into a courthouse. The building is protected by the National Monument Service. The exterior as well as the authentic interior designs have been preserved. It is now one of the most visited landmarks in the Noble City area.
