Courts in the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article describes the courts in the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt , which continued to exist in the following Free State of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt .

Before 1850

In the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt there have been two supreme state authorities since the beginning of the German Confederation : the Secret Council (since December 29, 1848: Ministry) and the government , each with its seat in Rudolstadt. The government took on the role of a court of second instance. An appeal against the decisions of the government was possible at the Zerbst Higher Appeal Court (from 1849: Jena Higher Appeal Court ). This was the joint higher appeal court of the small Thuringian states.

The offices were courts of first instance and, at the same time, lower administrative authorities. There was no separation of jurisdiction from administration .

There were also a large number of patrimonial courts .

1850

The March Revolution also led in Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt to the demand for the abolition of the patrimonial courts and the separation of judiciary and administration.

On July 1, 1850, the organizational laws came into force, which fundamentally changed the judiciary. On the same day, the agreements with the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenauch and the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen on the judicial community came into force.

The legal basis was the law on the future administration of justice of May 1, 1850 and the law on the jurisdiction of courts and the appeal of civil disputes. The patrimonial courts were abolished and administration and jurisdiction separated.

The first instance was judicial offices with a judicial officer as the single judge. District courts with typically three judges stood above this. The middle court was the Eisenach appellate court , which was formed together with the neighboring states. The Jena Higher Appeal Court stood above it . So the following dishes resulted:

The mining authority in Könitz had taken on the task of the mountain court .

In the reaction era , the separation of jurisdiction and administration was called into question again for reasons of cost. The ordinance on the organization of the lower state administrative authorities of May 1, 1858 repealed the district offices and assigned the administrative tasks to the judicial offices. At the request of the state parliament, the district offices were re-established by a law of February 7, 1868 and the courts were again released from administrative duties.

On July 1, 1858, the disciplinary court of the 1st and 2nd instance was created in Rudolstadt.

From 1879

As part of the introduction of the Reich Justice Laws , the Jena Higher Appeal Court was converted into the Jena Higher Regional Court and the Rudolstadt Court of Appeal into the Rudolstadt Regional Court . This was responsible for the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and neighboring areas. 14 local courts were located there, 7 of which belonged to Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt.

On July 21, 1884 the appeals court in commercial matters was established . On October 1, 1812, the Thuringian Higher Administrative Court in Jena began its work.

This court organization remained in the Free State of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. With the formation of the state of Thuringia, there was a reorganization. See courts in Thuringia .
