The Legal Office (Department 30) is assigned to Division I. The Legal Office operates as a cross-sectional office: cases and inquiries from all areas of district administration are handled here. 

Our Responsibilities


The Legal Office handles the legal matters of the district administration. Court proceedings for the district administration are conducted here, and the management level as well as the specialized departments are provided with legal advice.

Legal Matters

Public law, particularly administrative law, encompasses a multitude of  specialized laws that are frequently amended by the legislature. Jurisprudence in this area is also constantly evolving. For this reason, Oberbergischer Kreis employs several lawyers specializing in administrative law who not only handle  court cases, especially before administrative and social courts, but also advise specialized departments on legal issues to ensure legally sound decisions are made for the citizens. Trainees and students are supervised during their training by the lawyers of the Legal Office.

Due to legal regulations, the Legal Office is not permitted to provide legal advice to citizens.


Our Goals for You


Through the qualified support of the specialized departments of Oberbergischer Kreis in legal matters, you should receive legally sound notices as much as possible.
