Generalbundesanwalt beim Bundesgerichtshof

Welcome to

In the area of national security, the Federal Prosecutor General at the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe is the highest law enforcement authority in the Federal Republic of Germany. Justice in the Federal Republic of Germany is fundamentally a matter for the states, and the Federal Prosecutor's Office is the **only** **public prosecutor's office of the federal government**. The authority was established in 1950. The main responsibilities of the Federal Prosecutor General at the Federal Court of Justice include the prosecution in the first instance of crimes against the internal security (e.g., terrorist acts) and external security (e.g., espionage and treason) of the Federal Republic of Germany. At the corner of Hans-Thoma-Straße and Moltkestraße, a memorial stone commemorates the murder of former Federal Prosecutor General Siegfried Buback and his companions by RAF terrorists in April 1977.
