Administrative Court Berlin says goodbye to Vice President Dr. Peters!

Berlin, Deutschland - On July 11, 2025, Dr. Wilfried Peters ceremoniously adopted by the Berlin Administrative Court. Dr. Peters, who had been the vice president of the court since April 2010, had a significant impact on the development of the house. In his time he was the chairman of the 1st Chamber, which dealt with central areas such as the right to assembly, the protection of the constitution, police and regulatory law as well as data protection law and road law. The President of the Administrative Court paid tribute to Peters' commitment to the modernization of the court, in particular through the introduction of the electronic court file and the electronic court administration, which shaped his term.

dr. On July 14, 2025, Peters will compete a new challenge as head of the constitutional protection department in the Ministry of the Interior and for the Local Local of the State of Brandenburg. This personnel were officially announced on Tuesday afternoon by the Ministry of the Interior, which forms the basis for the new occupation of the Brandenburg Constitutional Protection. Interior Minister René Wilke, who refers to Peters as a "first choice", sees great qualities in his person for this important role that Dr. Peters describes as "extremely exciting and at the same time very demanding".

background to the new occupation

The decision to reposition the Protection of the Protection of the Protection of the Constitution in Brandenburg follows the constitutional protection affair that shook the country. The previous constitutional protection chief Jörg Müller was surprisingly released in May 2025 after the AfD was classified as secure right-wing extremist movement. In addition, the former Interior Minister Katrin Lange (SPD) resigned from her office after massive criticism. Against this background, Dr. Peters, which has been active in the administrative court since 1999 and previously worked in the Brandenburg Ministry of Justice and in the administration of the state parliament, take on a key role in the realignment of the constitutional protection.

In his career, Peters has already had to deal with questions of the protection of the constitution and will now bear responsibility to master the challenges and changes in this sensitive area. At the age of 62, he not only brings comprehensive legal knowledge, but also practical experience from various administrative areas.

digital innovation in the judicial system

A future -oriented project that Dr. Peters drove forward on the administrative court during his time, the implementation of the File insight portals . This online platform enables viewing in electronic acts by dishes and public prosecutors and contributes to increasing efficiency in the judicial system. The prerequisite for inspection is that the file is electronically available and a corresponding application was made. After approval by the court, the files are provided in the portal, where they are displayed in a clear table.

The files provided can be sorted and filtered by users, which guarantees improved transparency and faster accessibility for affected parties, such as lawyers and voluntary judges. Such innovative approaches illustrate how the judicial system in Germany reacts to technical challenges and establishes itself in a future -oriented manner. Dr. Peters' commitment to digital solutions will also be of great importance in his new office.

The farewell of Dr. Peters and his upcoming switch to the protection of the constitution reflect the dynamic changes in the German judicial and security area. Both institutions face the challenge of asserting themselves in a constantly developing environment and at the same time fulfilling social and political expectations.
