From then on, jurisdiction was exercised by the royal court. The opening took place on March 10, 1852, when the first board member, the royal legal advisor Alexander Emil Römisch, was instructed in his office. The court seal, available in 2 sizes, shows the Saxon coat of arms with the crown and the inscription, koenigl. Court of Lengenfeld.
According to an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice of September 2, 1856 on the formation of judicial districts, the Lengenfeld court office was subordinate to the Zwickau district court, which in turn belonged to the district of the Zwickau appellate court. In addition to Lengenfeld, the court office also included the following 9 court locations : Abhorn , Göltzschhäuser, Grün , Irfersgrün , Pechtelsgrün , Plohn , Röthenbach , Schönbrunn and Waldkirchen . The number of those ordered to court was 4423 in the city of Lengenfeld and 3696 in the country, for a total of 8119 inhabitants. Civil and criminal justice within the city was administered in all its branches by the Lengenfeld court office. The police and the police jurisdiction, however, with the exception of the passport and foreign affairs, which also administered the judicial office, belonged to the city council, to which the entire welfare, security, commercial and servant police, as well as the guild system were subordinate. Since the previous royal court was called the royal court office, its board has held the title of court captain.
In 1874, the Lengenfeld court office became part of the newly created Amtshauptmannschaft Auerbach .
The court office was converted into the Lengenfeld District Court in 1879 on the basis of the Courts Constitution Act for the German Empire.
