Retfærdigheden
The Justice
Embedded Files
Sagen om Skævebanden:
Sagen skabte stor debat om lovløshed, selvtægt og retfærdighed. Sagen kulminerede den 1. november 1841 med ellers lovlydige borgeres drab på 4 personer fra Skæve-banden, men endte med et retsopgør mod 181 personer, før der var ryddet op i det, der blev kendt som lovløsheden i landet norden for lands lov og ret.
4 af de 7 gerningsmænd blev dømt til døden, så selvtægtsgerningen blev ikke accepteret i lovens forstand. De dødsdømte havde stor sympati og blev i 1848 benådet - samme år som ”Retfærdigheden” blev opført i Sæby.
The case of the Gang from Skæve (small village):
The case sparked a major debate on lawlessness, vigilantism and justice. The case culminated on 1 November 1841 with the killing of four members of the Skæve gang by otherwise law-abiding citizens, but ended with a trial of 181 people before what became known as the lawlessness of the land north of the law of the land was cleared up.
4 of the 7 perpetrators were sentenced to death, so vigilantism was not accepted in the legal sense. The condemned had great sympathy and were pardoned in 1848 - the same year that "Justice" was performed in Sæby.

Retfærdigheden er fra 1848, byens nye store flotte rådhus, som sammen med de øvrige af Algades huse har været med til at inspirere arkitekten Harald Nielsen til bevægelsen Bedre Byggeskik.
I 1800-tallet kom der igen vækst i Sæby og det gamle rådhus på Klostertorvet var blevet for lille. Efter balladen om Skævebanden, hvor begrebet "norden for lands lov og ret" opstod, stod Sæby til at miste herredfogedembedet. Byens borgere kæmpede og investerede i sagen, og det lykkedes at bevare den vigtige embedsfunktion i byen og opføre et nyt rådhus, der rummede rådstue, retssal og arrest.

Råd-, Ting- og Arresthuset, Algade 14
Opført 1847-48, og husede indtil 1919 både den kommunale administration, retssal, politistation og arrest. Efter indskriften over hoveddøren, “For Retfærdigheden”, omtales bygningen hyppigst som ‘retfærdigheden’.
Indtil 2007 rummede bygningen stadig politistation og retssal. Igen har borgerne kæmpet for bygningen og erhvervet den på folkeaktier.
Fra bygningen drives turistbureau, gallerier, ligesom der er sal til udstillinger, koncerter og foredrag.

History
The Justice dates from 1848, the city's new large beautiful town hall, which along with the other houses of Algade helped to inspire the architect Harald Nielsen to the movement Better Building.
In the 1800s, growth returned to Sæby and the old town hall on Klostertorvet had become too small. After the Skæve gang affair, which gave rise to the concept of "north of the country law and justice", Sæby was about to lose its office of bailiff. The townspeople fought and invested in the cause, and succeeded in preserving the important office in the town and building a new town hall, which housed the town hall, courtroom and prison.

The Town Hall, Court and Detention Centre, 14 Algade
Built in 1847-48, it housed the municipal administration, courtroom, police station and detention centre until 1919. After the inscription above the front door, 'For Justice', the building is most often referred to as 'Justice'.
Until 2007, the building still housed the police station and courtroom. Again, citizens fought for the building and acquired it on public shares.
The building houses a tourist office, galleries and a hall for exhibitions, concerts and lectures.
