Appeal Court Gera

The Gera Court of Appeal (1848 to 1855: Supreme State Judicial College ) was the middle court for Reuss younger line , based in Gera , between (1848) 1855 and 1863 .

history

In Reuss younger line, until the March Revolution of 1848, the Supreme State Judicial College of the joint Reuss younger line government in Gera was the middle court of the principalities of Reuss younger line. Even if this had been the Supreme State Judicial College in judicial matters since 1838 , there was no separation of the judiciary from the administration . In 1848 the Supreme State Judicial College was organizationally separated from the state government and was therefore exclusively responsible for the administration of justice. In 1855 it was renamed the Gera Court of Appeal.

The seven judicial offices and three criminal courts had been subordinate to the Gera appellate court since 1852. The Jena Higher Appeal Court formed the final instance .

Subordinate courts were:

• Justice Office Gera-Stadt
• Justice Office Gera-Land
• Hirschberg Justice Office
• Hohenleuben Justice Office
• Justice Office Lobenstein
• Justice Office Saalburg
• Schleiz Justice Office
• Gera criminal court
• Lobenstein Criminal Court
• Schleiz Criminal Court

In 1863 the Gera appellate court was repealed and the (joint) Eisenach appellate court took its place.
