Special criminal senate of the Reichsgericht

The special criminal division of the Reichsgericht existed from 1939 as a ruling body of the Reichsgericht for criminal matters in addition to the six counted criminal division.

He was responsible for extraordinary objections by the Oberreichsanwalts against legally binding judgments “because of serious concerns about the correctness of the judgment”. Its chairman was the President of the Reichsgericht ( Bumke ) by law .

The breach of legal force served (in addition to the resumption ) in the Nazi judiciary from 1940 also the nullity complaint, later in the GDR judiciary, the cassation .
