Bavarian military justice
The Bavarian Military Justice was the military justice of the Kingdom of Bavaria . She had her origins in the provosts who oversees the mercenaries had. From the establishment of the Bavarian Army as a standing army in 1682, a separate judicial system developed for soldiers .
The Bavarian soldiers were subject to these statutory exemptions until 1825, when the Bavarian State Parliament, on the initiative of Joseph Ludwig von Armansperg, handed civil matters over to the ordinary courts . However, crimes continued to be tried in military courts. The proceedings before the military courts were publicly negotiated.
As a general legal basis has been approved by parliament in 1869 as part of the reform of the army , the Bavarian Military Penal Code and the Bavarian Military Criminal Procedure created.
When the German Empire was founded in 1871, Bavarian military law was aligned with German military law , despite reservation rights . The preference of public control of the process was not adopted. The only concession that was created at the Reich Military Court in Berlin was a separate (III.) Bavarian Senate , whose members were appointed by the Bavarian King .
This remainder of the Bavarian military jurisdiction was repealed in 1920.
