Cour d'appel de Colmar
The Cour d'appel de Colmar is a French court of second instance ( Cour d'appel ) based in Colmar .
history
With the law of the 27th Ventôse of the year VII (according to the then applicable revolutionary calendar, March 18th, 1800 CE), a court of appeal was set up in Colmar under the name “Tribunal d'appel”.
The name of the dish changed over time. By law of May 18, 1804, the name “Cour d'appel de Colmar”, in 1810 “Cour Impériale”, in the Second Empire “Cour royale” and in the times of the Republic again “Cour d'appel de Colmar”.
The court was responsible for the largely German-speaking departments of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin (i.e. Alsace ).
After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, Alsace and Lorraine were annexed to the German Empire as the realm of Alsace-Lorraine . The Cour d'appel de Colmar was dissolved and the Colmar Higher Regional Court was founded as its successor. In contrast to the previous regulation, the new higher regional court was also responsible for Lorraine.
With the end of the First World War , France was able to regain Alsace-Lorraine and re-established the old administrative structures, including the Cour d'appel de Colmar. After the interruption by the German occupation in World War II , the court still exists today.
