history

Forerunner of the Camburg District Court between 1829 and 1879

After the Saxon-Gotha-Altenburg line died out , the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1825/26 . The Camburg office was assigned to the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen as an exclave through the partition contract to Hildburghausen . The 15 neighboring places of the northern Eisenberg district office were connected to it, which were separated from the southern part of the Eisenberg district office by the Bürgel and Tautenburg office belonging to Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach .

As part of the reorganization of Saxony-Meiningen state territory, the existing offices were dissolved by 1829 and the judiciary and administration were separated from one another. For the Camburg office, the official business in administrative matters was transferred to the “Camburg Administrative Office” responsible for the Camburg exclave and to the Camburg City and Regional Court in court duties. The administrative office and the court remained connected in personal union until 1869 . The Camburg regional and municipal court, which had had the powers of a district court since 1826, was converted into a district court deputation for the Saalfeld district court in 1850 . However, it kept the designation "Regional Court". When the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen was reorganized in 1868, administrative powers were transferred from the Camburg administrative office to the Saalfeld district .

Camburg District Court 1879–1949

Due to the Judicial Procedure Act of January 27, 1877, local and regional courts had to be established in what is now Thuringia. In the place of the Camburg Regional Court, the Camburg District Court of Saxony-Meiningen took over from 1879. The superordinate court was the joint district court of Rudolstadt , which was responsible for the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, the Meiningian district of Saalfeld and the Prussian district of Ziegenrück by a state treaty between Prussia , Saxony-Meiningen and Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt .

After the Free State of Saxony-Meiningen, which had only been founded two years earlier, had risen in the State of Thuringia in 1920 , the Camburg District Court continued to operate as the Thuringian District Court from 1921. The Weimar Regional Court had been the higher-level instance since 1923 . In 1949 the Camburg District Court was overturned.
