Former district court building

The Rosenthal District Court (until 1867 Rosenthal Justice Office ) was a court of ordinary jurisdiction until 1932, with its seat in Rosenthal in what is now the Waldeck-Frankenberg district in northern Hesse .

history

The Rosenthal court had existed since the Middle Ages. The jurisdiction of the lower courts was in the Hesse-Kassel by the bailiff of the Office Rosenthal perceived.

The reorganization of the judiciary in the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 led to the separation of jurisdiction and administration. The canton of Rosenthal was now responsible for the administration, the Peace Court of Rosenthal for the jurisdiction. The peace court was subordinate to the district court of Hersfeld , which was responsible for the district of Hersfeld .

With the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1813, the separation of jurisdiction and administration was reversed and the Electorate of Hesse reintroduced the Rosenthal office in 1814.

With an edict of June 29, 1821, administration and justice were separated in Kurhessen. Now judicial offices were responsible for the first instance jurisprudence, the administration was taken over by districts (here the district of Frankenberg ). The Rosenthal Justice Office was set up in Rosenthal.

After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia , the justice office became the royal Prussian district court of Rosenthal in 1867. With the entry into force of the Courts Constitution Act of 1877, the Rosenthal District Court remained in existence.

It was repealed in 1932. His district was partially assigned to the Frankenberg (Eder) district court and partially to the Jesberg district court .

Supreme Court

The Rosenthal Justice Office was subordinate to the Marburg Higher Court (since 1867 under the name of Marburg Regional Court).

The following judges worked at the court:

  • Justice officer Georg Wilhelm Stamm (1821–1831)

building

The courthouse at Zehntstrasse 12 (formerly Amtsstrasse 193) was built at the beginning of the 18th century and already served as an office building in the Rosenthal office. The judge's apartment was also in the house. The court prison was housed in a different building on Schulstrasse. After the court was repealed in 1932, the representative half-timbered house was used in various ways and was acquired by the city on January 18, 1950 for DM 13,750. In 1980 the listed building was sold to a private investor.
