history
In 1652, Elector Karl Ludwig von der Pfalz granted the city of Mannheim extended privileges in order to promote reconstruction after the Thirty Years' War . It was also stipulated that the jurisdiction over the Mannheim residents was exclusively up to the City of Mannheim's magistrate. The meeting took place in the Mannheim town hall on the market square.
In 1720, Carl Philipp moved the Palatinate residence from Heidelberg to Mannheim, which also resulted in a reduction in rights and competencies. In 1734 the city council was deprived of jurisdiction and the Mannheim city court was founded. Like the city council, it met under the chairmanship of the city director, but this was the first time that administration and justice were separated from an organizational point of view.
With the destruction of the Electoral Palatinate, Mannheim fell to Baden in 1803 , which dissolved the city court and instead set up an electoral city bailiff, from 1809 Mannheim city office. The separation of administration and justice was thus lifted again. Only after the July Revolution of 1830 were calls for a reform of the judiciary made again. The liberal efforts were initially suppressed in the Grand Duchy of Baden .
On September 1, 1857, the Mannheim District Court was founded. It was housed in the west wing of Mannheim Palace , which was rebuilt for this purpose from 1863 to 1865 and a prison extension was added. After the ratification of the Mannheim Act , the district court was given the function of a Rhine navigation court in 1869 . In 1905 the extension to the castle could be moved. In 1933/35 four Jewish judges were dismissed with the “ Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service ”, two of whom did not survive the persecution of National Socialism .
In 1970 the district court became a presidential court . In 2006 it was given jurisdiction as the registry court for the trade and partnership registers for North Baden. In the same year, the Palais Bretzenheim was moved into as a branch .
building
The main building of the local court was built between 1902 and 1904 according to plans by the Grand Ducal Building Councilor Schäfer. The neo-baroque building is attached to the west wing of the electoral palace. The representative main facade made of red Main Valley sandstone was oriented towards the newly designed Bismarckstraße. The grammar school formerly located there had previously been demolished. The mansard roof of the four-wing complex was only rebuilt in a simplified manner after the damage in World War II .
Branch offices of the local court are also located on Bismarckstraße, in Palais Bretzenheim and in square L2 .
