history

The district office Heidelberg had since its inception both the function of an administrative authority and that of the Court of First Instance. In 1857 the administration and administration of justice at the lower level were separated from each other. The district offices were purely administrative units, the jurisdiction was taken over by local courts. The higher court was initially the Mannheim court and from 1864 the Heidelberg district court .

The Heidelberg District Court was initially one of 19 district courts in the Lower Rhine District of Baden . In the grand ducal period in 1858 it was manned by two magistrates, a registrar, three actuaries, a bailiff, a prison guard and three bailiffs. The court district comprised 22 parishes.

In 1872 the Neckargemünd District Court was repealed and its district was added to that of the Heidelberg District Court.

Superior courts

The Heidelberg Regional Court is directly superior to the Heidelberg District Court . The competent higher regional court is the higher regional court in Karlsruhe .
