The Federal Administrative Court (German: Bundesverwaltungsgericht, German pronunciation: [bʊndəsfɛɐ̯ˈvaltʊŋsɡəˌʁɪçt] (listen)) is one of the five federal supreme courts of Germany. It is the court of the last resort for generally all cases of administrative law, mainly disputes between citizens and the state. It hears appeals from the Oberverwaltungsgerichte, or Superior Administrative Courts, which, in turn, are the courts of appeals for decisions of the Verwaltungsgerichte (administrative courts). However, cases concerning social security law belong to the jurisdiction of the Sozialgerichte (Social Courts) with the Bundessozialgericht as federal court of appeals, and cases of tax and customs law are decided by the Finanzgerichte (Finance Courts), and, ultimately, by the Bundesfinanzhof. The Bundesverwaltungsgericht has its seat at the former Reichsgericht (Imperial Court of Justice) building in Leipzig.

Propsteikirche, Leipzig

The Propsteikirche St. Trinitatis (German pronunciation: [pʁoːpsˈtaɪkɪʁçə zaŋkt tʁiniˈtaːtɪs], Provost Church of the Holy Trinity) in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany, is a Catholic church in the city centre, opened in 2015. The parish is part of the deanery of Leipzig in the Diocese of Dresden-Meißen. The official name of the church is Propsteikirche St. Trinitatis Leipzig. It is the largest church built in the new states of Germany since reunification.This is the third church to have been named Trinitatiskirche in Leipzig. The first was built in the centre in 1847, but was destroyed in World War II. The East German government permitted a new building to be erected, but only in a suburb. An "unremarkable functional building" was designed by the Bauakademie der DDR (‘Building Academy of the German Democratic Republic’) and completed in 1982. It showed severe structural deficiencies after a few years, due to problems with the foundations. The latest church returned the parish to the city centre, close to the location of the first church.The architects Schulz und Schulz, who won a competition for the new building, were awarded a prize for the "Religious building of the year" at the World Architecture Festival 2016. The building complex is based on a triangle. In the east is the church, with an adjacent chapel and the sacristy. In the west are a large hall for the congregation and parish offices, with living quarters for priests and a guest apartment on an upper floor. A 50 m (164 ft) bell tower marks the western tip of the triangle.The church window to the north was designed by Falk Haberkorn from Leipzig. It contains texts from the Old Testament and the New Testament, showing different sections depending on the lighting and time of day. The windows were manufactured by the Derix company.
