Bavarian Supreme Court
The Bavarian Supreme Regional Court (BayObLG) with its seat in Munich and external senates in Nuremberg and Bamberg is the highest ordinary court of the Free State of Bavaria . Its predecessor courts go back to the year 1625. From 1879, with the entry into force of the Reich Justice Laws under its current name, it was the only supreme regional court in Germany according to § 8 EGGVG . Disbanded by the National Socialist rulers in 1935 , it was rebuilt after the Second World War and had its seat in Munich. In 2006 it was dissolved. At the initiative of the new Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder , the Bavarian State Parliament decided in July 2018 to re-establish the court on September 15, 2018.
history
After Emperor Ferdinand II. In 1620 the Duchy of Bavaria (from 1623 Electorate ) the privilege de non appellando had given, which was on April 17, 1625 Revisorium established that for Bayern in the place of Reichskammergericht as the last instance occurred. The auditorium of the Kingdom of Bavaria was replaced in 1809 by the Higher Appeal Court in Munich.
In 1879, a few years after the establishment of the German Reich , the Higher Appeal Court was repealed by the nationwide judicial constitution law. The Bavarian Supreme Court, which was newly established due to the Clausula Bavarica in § 8 EGGVG and § 7 EGZPO , acted as the revision instance . When the Civil Code came into force in 1900 and the Reichsgericht in Leipzig became the comprehensive revision instance in disputed civil matters ( Art. 6 EGBGB ), the legislature transferred the revisions in criminal matters and other complaints in matters of voluntary jurisdiction to the BayObLG as compensation (cf. § 9 EGGVG , § 199 FGG ).
After the transfer of power to the National Socialists , judge Alfred Neumeyer , who had been working at the court since 1929, was removed from service with the law to restore the civil service because of his Jewish origin. On April 1, 1935, the BayObLG was dissolved by the National Socialist rulers.
It was rebuilt on July 1, 1948. It was responsible for appeals against first instance civil judgments of the regional courts, if their jurisdiction was exclusive, and against criminal judgments of the jury courts ; also for submitting revisions and complaints by the regional and higher regional courts, subsidiary for the determination of the competent court and as the highest entails court; the court for conflicts of jurisdiction was affiliated . As a result of the amendment to the Courts Constitution Act and the establishment of the Federal Court of Justice , jurisdiction in criminal and voluntary jurisdiction was again expanded in 1950, and in disputed civil matters (according to § 8 EGGVG new) it was limited to state law. There were up to five civil, six criminal and three fines senates.
The Bavarian Prime Minister Edmund Stoiber announced in his policy statement on 6 November 2003 to abolish the Bavarian Supreme Court to cut costs and the three existing in Bavaria whose duties higher regional courts to transfer. This happened by resolution of the Bavarian State Parliament of October 20, 2004 to June 30, 2006, although massive objections were raised in the professional world. The proceedings, which previously fell within the jurisdiction of the Bavarian Supreme Court, were then divided between the Munich Higher Regional Court (civil and criminal cases from the Munich Higher Regional Court, appeal proceedings against decisions of the North and South Bavarian Public Procurement Chambers), the Bamberg Higher Regional Court (civil and criminal cases from the Bamberg OLG district and legal complaints under the law on administrative offenses and the commercial criminal law from all of Bavaria) and to the Nuremberg Higher Regional Court (civil and criminal cases from the Nuremberg OLG district). The civil proceedings became the competence of the Federal Court of Justice . In 2019, a total annual savings of around EUR 1.2 million should be achieved.
In his government statement of April 18, 2018, the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder announced the re-establishment of the Bavarian Supreme Regional Court with its seat in Munich and external senates in Nuremberg and Bamberg. On July 11, 2018, the Bavarian State Parliament decided without dissenting votes to re-establish the court on September 15, 2018. On September 17, 2018, the President of the Court, Hans-Joachim Heßler, was introduced to his new office with a ceremony in the Munich Residence . With effect from December 16, 2018, Manfred Götzl was appointed Vice President.

At the Supreme Regional Court there is a civil senate in Munich and seven criminal senates (1st and 2nd in Bamberg, also penalty senates; 3rd and 4th in Nuremberg; 5th, 6th and 7th in Munich).
