building

The Warburg District Court building is on Puhlplatz. It was rebuilt in the Prussian Baroque style in 1860–1862 and formally handed over to the district court director Joseph Weingärtner by the then district architect Cramer . Before that, the first service building of the Warburg court was housed in the Dominican monastery between the cities (old town and new town), which was dissolved by the Prussian authorities. The official apartments and the prison were also housed there. The plan to use the town hall as a courthouse was rejected by the city of Warburg. In 1968 a plot of land on the Landfurt was bought for the purpose of building a new district court, but the construction plans were not implemented.

history

Warburg had its own court system during the time of the Principality of Paderborn . Through the conquest of the prince-bishopric in 1802 by the Prussian state and the annexation of the area in 1803 as well as through the interim Franco-Napoléon rule, which established a kingdom of Westphalia (1807-1813), and the restoration, through which the area fell back to Prussia in 1813 , the judiciary was changed several times and finally reorganized by the Prussian authorities.

The revolution of 1848 resulted in extensive reforms of judicial policy. The last remnants of the civil, municipal and patrimonial jurisdiction were removed and thus the lower jurisdiction was transferred to the state. Today's local courts were created by the Courts Constitution Act of 1878. The District Court of Warburg was established by regulation no. 857? from the Law Collection No. 25 for the Royal Prussian States of July 26, 1878 based on Section 21 of the Implementing Act of the German Courts Constitution Act of August 24, 1878, to October 1, 1879.
