history

In the 15th century, the Wittelsbach dukes made Bärnstein the seat of a nursing court for the Grafenauer Land, whose keeper, as captain in front of the forest, was also head of the regional military organization and had an armory . In 1799 the seat of the Bärnstein Regional Court was relocated to Grafenau. In 1811, as a result of an administrative restructuring in the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Grafenau district court was established and assigned to the Lower Danube District.

When the Courts Constitution Act came into force on October 1, 1879, a district court was formed in Grafenau, the district of which was identical to the previous district of Grafenau and the communities of Bärnstein , Eberhardsreuth , Eppenschlag , Furth , Gmünd , Grafenau , Großarmschlag , Großmisselberg , Hartmannsreit , Heinrichsreit , Hilgenreith , Innernzell , Kirchberg , Klingenbrunn (today Spiegelau ), Kreuzberg , Lembach , Liebersberg , Mitternach , Nendlnach , Neudorf , Oberkreuzberg , Ranfels , Rosenau , Saldenburg , Sankt Oswald , Schlag , Schöfweg , Schönanger (today Neuschönau), Schönberg , Solla , Thurmansbang and Zenting included. The higher authority was the Deggendorf Regional Court .

When the Law on the Organization of Ordinary Courts in the Free State of Bavaria (GerOrgG) came into force on July 1, 1973, the District Court was repealed and incorporated into the district of the District Court of Freyung .
