Hamburg - A senior German judge was temporarily removed from his post on Friday after images of child pornography were discovered on a private computer.

The official, chairperson of the Hamburg social welfare law tribunal, had requested leave during an inquiry.

A panel of fellow judges in the northern city ruled that the allegations were so grave that he must give up his post for the time being. He is allowed two weeks to appeal.

Police in the city of Mainz, where the computer was found in the home of the judge's girlfriend, announced the inquiry in December. An online service had reportedly disclosed names of several visitors to a porn website.
