District Court Rinteln

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The district court of Rinteln was a Prussian district court in the then Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau with its seat in Rinteln .

prehistory

Law has been spoken in Rinteln since the Middle Ages. Since the division into a Hessian and a Lippe region in 1640, the Hessian court for the county of Schaumburg was located in Rinteln .

After the dissolution of the Electorate of Hesse and its incorporation into the Kingdom of Westphalia created by Napoléon in 1807, the reorganization of the judiciary in the kingdom led to the separation of jurisdiction and administration . The canton of Rinteln in the district of Rinteln in the department of the Weser was now responsible for the administration. The courts were structured in the same way. At the level of the canton of Rinteln, the Rinteln Peace Court existed as the court of first instance. The District Court of Rintelnwas the court of second instance that was responsible for the justice of the peace in the district. Above it stood the Appellationshof Kassel , which was responsible, among other things, for the department of the Weser.

With the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1813, the separation of jurisdiction and administration was reversed and the restituted Electorate of Hesse restored the Grafschaft Schaumburg in 1814. For the county of Schaumburg there was from 1821 in Kurhessen the higher court Rinteln (also called higher court for the county of Schaumburg ) as a court of second instance.

From 1821, administration and jurisdiction were again separated in Kurhessen. The Rinteln judicial office was now responsible for the case law in the first instance . The judicial district of the higher court for the county of Schaumburg also included the justice office Oberkirchen , the justice office Oldendorf and the justice office Rodenberg .

District Court

With the annexation of the Electorate of Hesse by Prussia in 1867, the six district courts of Kassel, Fulda, Hanau, Marburg, Rinteln and Rotenburg with the higher-level appellate court of Kassel were established in the now Prussian administrative district of Cassel .

The following local courts were subordinated to the District Court of Rinteln:

District Court Seat Dissolved
District court Rinteln Rinteln consists
District court Obernkirchen Obernkirchen
District Court of Oldendorf Oldendorf 1974
District court Rodenberg Rodenberg

When the German Courts Constitution Act came into force on October 1, 1879, these district courts were replaced by the three regional courts of Kassel, Marburg and Hanau, each with a public prosecutor's office. No middle-level court was established in Rinteln.
