How does the increase in asylum cases affect the processing times of other types of administrative lawsuits, and what specific examples are given?

The increase in asylum applications significantly impacts the court's workload, exceeding its capacity despite a slight increase in judges dedicated to asylum cases (from 14/30 in 2017 to 10/24 projected for July 2025). This strain also delays other administrative cases, such as those concerning building permits, social benefits, and Corona aid, with average processing times reaching 28 months.

What are the underlying causes of the increase in pending investigations in Hamburg and across Germany, and what measures have been taken to address this issue?

The dramatic rise in pending cases in Hamburg reflects a broader trend in German criminal justice. The increase in new cases, although slightly down in 2024 from 2023, remains significantly higher than in 2021, exceeding it by almost 20,000. This strain on the system leads to prolonged procedures and fewer indictments filed.
