history

The Straussberg office was acquired from Schwarzburg-Blankenburg in 1356 by the Counts of Honstein. In 1574 it fell to Schwarzburg-Frankenhausen and in 1599 to Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. It was a fiefdom of Kurmainz since 1421 . In 1802 the feudal rule passed to Prussia and was replaced in 1819.

The Straussberg 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 from May 1, 1850 and the law on the jurisdiction of the courts and the appeal of civil disputes. The patrimonial courts were abolished and administration and jurisdiction separated. The administrative tasks were transferred to the newly created District Office in Frankenhausen , the judicial function to the Schlotheim Justice Office .
