The Bamberg Higher Regional Court is one of three Bavarian Higher Regional Courts , along with the Munich Higher Regional Court and the Nuremberg Higher Regional Court .

history

In 1803, the Bamberg Court Court was set up as an appeal court in the Kingdom of Bavaria . It was converted into a Bavarian appellate court by the Organic Edict on the Court Constitution of July 24, 1808, Part III . The appeals courts ruled in senates with five members each. In 1856 the appellate courts became the appeal instance for the decisions of the district courts . In 1873 the appellate courts for Upper and Lower Franconia were combined in Bamberg. The appellate court of Aschaffenburg was thus dissolved and its tasks transferred to the one in Bamberg.

Until 1875 there was a senate (with Protestant judges) at the court of appeal in Bamberg for disputed matrimonial matters of Protestants and dissidents. In 1879, when the German Courts Constitution Act came into force, the Bamberg Court of Appeal was converted into a higher regional court.
