history

Kelheim has been an important seat of the Wittelsbach family since the 11th century . The "Regional Court of the Elderly Order" Kelheim was formed in 1803. In 1854 the Kelheim district court handed some communities over to the Stadtamhof and Regensburg (both Upper Palatinate) courts . The regional courts in the Kingdom of Bavaria as judicial and administrative authorities were absorbed into the district offices in administrative terms in 1862. The remaining justice facilities in Kelheim initially retained the name of the regional court. As the initial instance of the lower jurisdiction, the previous regional courts were renamed uniformly in 1879 by the Courts Constitution Act as district courts , also in Kelheim and the neighboring courts of Mainburg , Abensberg and Riedenburg . The district court of Riedenburg was dissolved on June 30, 1973 and added to the district court of Kelheim. The Abensberg District Court was initially a branch of the Kelheim District Court from July 1, 1973 and then dissolved on March 31, 1974 and integrated into the Kelheim District Court. The Mainburg District Court was also formally dissolved in 1973, but remained a branch of the Kelheim District Court until July 31, 2006. It was then integrated into the Kelheim District Court.
