With the restitution of the Electorate of Hesse, the old court structures were restored.

With an edict of June 29, 1821, administration and justice were separated in Kurhessen. Now judicial offices were responsible for the first instance jurisdiction, the administration was taken over by the districts . In Bergen, however, the court was not called the Justice Office, but the Bornheimer Berg Regional Court .
