history

As the seat of the Counts of Oldenburg-Delmenhorst, Delmenhorst has long been the seat of a court. The counts given the city while in 1371 the Bremen Town law , however, a can down jurisdiction in documents until 1577 to prove. The counts had reserved jurisdiction when they were granted city rights. This jurisdiction was transferred to the city in 1699. The district court goes back to the count's Vogt , who was later replaced by the judicial office. In 1653 the Delmenhorst Regional Court was formed from the office .

After the annexation by France, the previous Oldenburg courts were dissolved and in 1811 the court organization of the Hanseatic departments was created. The Delmenhorst Peace Court , which was subordinate to the Tribunal of First Instance in Oldenburg, was established in Delmenhorst . After the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , French rule collapsed. The Grand Duchy of Oldenburg formed the Delmenhorst office as an administrative district in 1814 , which was also the court of first instance and thus the successor to the peace court. In the court organization in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, the newly established Delmenhorst Regional Court was superordinate to this.

With the law on the court constitution for the Duchy of Oldenburg of August 29, 1857, the regional courts were dissolved and three higher courts were formed. Delmenhorst was therefore only the location of a court of first instance. This was still the Delmenhorst office, but the administration of justice and administration were separated. Now the higher court in Oldenburg was the higher authority. With the entry into force of the Reich Justice Laws , the court organization was reorganized in 1879 and the Delmenhorst District Court was formed.

From 1870, apartments outside the actual courthouse had to be rented in order to keep the court running. The current courthouse was moved into by the court around 1900. The building was originally designed for three judges, but despite the expansion of the attic it turned out to be too small. An expansion has been planned since the 1950s, but has not yet been implemented. Today, additional rooms are used for the court in the Helmut-Lange-Haus at Cramerstraße 183.

The recent history of the judicial district has been shaped by the district reforms of the 20th century. On May 1st 1973 the court in Delmenhorst lost the local jurisdiction for Stuhr to the district court Syke . From January 1, 1983 to March 31, 1991, the judicial district expanded to include the municipality of Harpstedt . After the seat of the district of Oldenburg was moved from the city of Oldenburg to the city of Wildeshausen , the Wildeshausen District Court was established . According to the original legal regulation, the Delmenhorst district court was to give up all the municipalities of the Oldenburg district from its judicial district and subsequently be greatly reduced and only locally responsible for the city of Delmenhorst. Citizens' initiatives turned against the project . After the CDU government was replaced by a red-green government under Gerhard Schröder , changes were made to the controversial plan: Delmenhorst lost Harpstedt to Wildeshausen, but remained responsible for Ganderkesee.
