history

From 1806 to 1808 the Kingdom of Bavaria was divided into 15 districts, the names of which were based on rivers: Mainkreis ( Bamberg ), Pegnitzkreis ( Nuremberg ), Rezatkreis ( Ansbach ), Nabkreis ( Amberg ), Regenkreis ( Regensburg and Straubing ), Altmühlkreis ( Eichstätt ), Oberdonaukreis ( Ulm ), Lechkreis ( Augsburg ), Isarkkreis ( Munich ), Salzachkreis ( Burghausen ), Unterdonaukreis ( Passau ), Illerkreis ( Kempten with Vorarlberg ), Innkreis ( Innsbruck ), Eisackkreis ( Brixen and Bozen ) and Etschkreis ( Trento). This was determined by a very high ordinance for the territorial division of the kingdom of June 21, 1808.

The Etschkreis initially comprised 14 regional courts, namely the southern Italian language areas of Tyrol ( Welschtirol ). The disregard of the old Tyrolean military constitution ( Landlibell Emperor Maximilians I from 1511) and the reintroduction of the Josephine church reform by the Bavarian Minister Montgelas caused displeasure mainly in the German-speaking part of Tyrol. At the beginning of 1809 the cities of Trento and Rovereto were directly subordinated to the General District Commission. The forced drafting of recruits for the Bavarian Army ultimately led to the uprising that began on April 9, 1809 in the Tyrolean capital Innsbruck. Although the Tyroleans initially achieved great success under Andreas Hofer , the uprising ended on November 1, 1809 with the defeat of the Tyroleans on Bergisel . The Etschkreis was ceded by Bavaria to the Kingdom of Italy in 1810 .

The Appellate Court of Trento was set up as the middle court for the Etsch region .
