Office Frankenhausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The office Frankenhausen was a judicial and administrative district in the Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt subordinate rule with its seat in Frankenhausen .

history

The Frankenhausen office was acquired in 1340 by the Schwarzenburg counts from the possession of the Counts of Beichlingen. It was a Wettin fiefdom, with the Albertine line since 1485. In 1815 the feudal rule passed to Prussia and was replaced in 1819. In 1340 the office was owned by Schwarzburg-Blankenburg, in 1574 it went to Schwarzburg-Frankenhausen and in 1599 to Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt.

The Arnsburg office was considered part of the Frankenhausen office from the 18th century (see there). In 1825 the office was expanded to include the Ichsted office .

scope

The Frankenhausen office comprised the following locations:

tasks

The Frankenhausen office was initially a court of first instance and at the same time a lower administrative authority. There was no separation of jurisdiction from administration .

The March Revolution also led in Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt to the demand for the abolition of the patrimonial courts and the separation of judiciary and administration.

On July 1, 1850, the organizational laws came into force, which fundamentally changed the judiciary. The legal basis was the law on the future administration of justice of May 1, 1850 and the law on the jurisdiction of courts and the appeal of civil disputes. The patrimonial courts were abolished and administration and jurisdiction separated.

The Frankenhausen office was now a purely judicial office, i.e. a court of first instance with a judicial officer as a single judge. Due to its size, it was divided into the Justice Office Frankenhausen I and Frankenhausen II. In 1853 these two judicial offices were merged to form the Frankenhausen judicial office. The (joint) district court of Sondershausen stood above it . The administrative tasks were transferred to the newly created District Office in Frankenhausen .

In the reaction era , the separation of jurisdiction and administration was called into question again for reasons of cost. The ordinance on the organization of the lower state administrative authorities of May 1, 1858 repealed the district offices and assigned the administrative tasks to the judicial offices. At the request of the state parliament, the district offices were re-established by a law of February 7, 1868 and the courts were again released from administrative duties.

As part of the introduction of the Reich Justice Laws , the Frankenhausen office was converted into the Frankenhausen District Court .
