Andrea Diekmann Nominated as President of Berlin's Kammergericht

The Berlin Senate proposes Andrea Diekmann to fill the vacant top judicial position, pending approval from the Abgeordnetenhaus.

Andrea Diekmann, currently the President of the Landgericht Frankfurt (Oder), is nominated to succeed Bernd Pickel as President of the Kammergericht.
Bernd Pickel retired in March, leaving the position vacant and prompting internal disputes over his successor.
Justizsenatorin Felor Badenberg praises Diekmann as an experienced and strong leader, emphasizing her role in advancing digitalization in the judiciary.
Diekmann's nomination follows a contentious selection process, including the establishment of a selection committee to secure support.
The Abgeordnetenhaus is expected to vote on Diekmann's nomination on November 7, with further judicial appointments anticipated soon.
