Responsibilities

The district court of Holzminden is locally responsible for the district of Holzminden . The Hildesheim Regional Court is superior to it. The competent higher regional court is the higher regional court of Celle .

history

In the Duchy of Braunschweig , to which the Holzminden district belonged at that time, administration and justice were separated with the Courts Constitution Act of August 21, 1849, and local courts were established on July 1, 1850. In 1879, Holzminden was also declared the seat of a regional court, which, however, was dissolved again in 1890 due to insufficient capacity.

Due to the "Decree on the change of court districts in the area of ​​the Hermann-Göring-Werke Salzgitter" of the Reich Minister of Justice of June 8, 1942 - RGBl. I p. 382 - the district court of Holzminden together with the district courts of Eschershausen and Stadtoldendorf was reclassified to the district court district of Hildesheim on August 1, 1942, after the district of Holzminden had already moved from the state of Braunschweig to the district of Hildesheim and thus to the province of Hanover in 1941 .

After the Second World War , the Holzminden district court resumed operations on May 30, 1945 as the first court in the higher regional court district of Celle. In the 1970s, the court boundaries were adjusted to the district boundaries. The Stadtoldendorf district court was dissolved in 1972 and the Eschershausen district court in 1973. The districts of these courts as well as parts of the districts of the courts in Bad Pyrmont and Uslar were transferred to the jurisdiction of the Holzminden local court. In 1983 Delligsen finally followed from the Bad Gandersheim office.

building

Initially, the district court was housed in a former soap factory. In the 1950s a new building was erected on Karlstrasse . About 20 years later, two extensions followed. In 1978, the building of the former forestry office in Neue Straße, very close to the main building, was taken over.
