Hereditary Health Court

The image above shows Reichensperger Platz Square which includes the center of operations of the hereditary health court and the higher hereditary health court.

The Hereditary Health Court (German: Erbgesundheitsgericht, EGG), also known as the Genetic Health Court, was a court that decided whether people should be forcibly sterilized in Nazi Germany. That method of using courts to make decisions on hereditary health in Nazi Germany was created to implement the Nazi race policy aiming for racial hygiene.[1]
