history

After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the Reichsherrschaft Wörth became part of the Principality of Regensburg in 1803 . Arch Chancellor Karl Theodor von Dalberg signed the Rhine Confederation Act for the Principality on July 26, 1806 at Wörth Castle . When it was dissolved in 1810, Wörth fell to the Regenkreis in the Kingdom of Bavaria . In 1812, Prince Karl Alexander von Thurn und Taxis was granted the domain of Wörth by King Max I Joseph as a hereditary loan. From 1814 to 1848, Wörth was the seat of a Thurn und Taxis ruling court , then a regional court of the older order . With the separation of the Bavarian judiciary and administration, Wörth came to the Regensburg District Office in 1862 . As the initial instance of the lower jurisdiction, the regional courts were renamed uniformly in 1879 by the Courts Constitution Act in the district court . From the beginning of its existence, the seat of the court was Wörth Castle on the Danube . In 1939 a separate district court building was built, today the service building of the Wörth adDonau police station. In 1959, the district court was dissolved despite vigorous protests by the then city council and demonstrations by the population. Today the district court of Regensburg is responsible for the place.
