history

With the reorganization of the court organization in the Grand Duchy of Berg , the Velbert Peace Court was established as the court of first instance at the end of 1811 . It was subordinate to the Tribunal of First Instance in Düsseldorf . Prussia took over the Bergisch courts in 1814. The previous peace courts remained, the first instance tribunals were renamed district courts . The Velbert Peace Court was now assigned to the Düsseldorf District Court . In 1820 the organization of the courts was changed. The district courts have now become regional courts. The Velbert Peace Court was subordinated to the Elberfeld Regional Court . In the context of the Courts Constitution Act of 1879, no district court was initially set up in Velbert. However, the law on the establishment of a district court in the city of Velbert of June 2, 1890 ordered the establishment of a district court, which also happened when the law came into force on April 1, 1893.
