This article describes the courts in the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen since 1846.

Ordinary Jurisdiction

Even before the March Revolution of 1848, Schwarzburg-Sondershausen also called for a separation of the judiciary from the administration . With the highest rescript concerning the other organization of the judiciary on December 22, 1846, this demand was partially implemented.

Although the city and patrimonial courts remained , in rural areas the jurisdiction was combined in judicial offices as the first instance and regional courts as the second instance. The regional court in Sondershausen and the regional court in Arnstadt were established as regional courts .

With the 20th law "regarding the future administration of justice" of April 3, 1850, Prince Günther Friedrich Carl II ordered a new court structure that unified the entire judiciary.

At the top was the Jena Higher Appeal Court , which was also responsible for Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. A joint appeal court for the Thuringian states was located below it. The second instance was formed by two district courts: The Arnstadt Community District Court and the Sondershausen Community District Court as successors to the previous regional and city courts.

The judicial offices formed the first instance. These should have a judicial district that had between five and nine thousand court inmates. Taking into account the fragmentation of the Thuringian states, these judicial offices could also encompass the area of ​​several states.

For the sub-rule were judicial offices Sondershausen , Ebeleben , Keula and Greußen furnished. For the supremacy these were the justice offices of Arnstadt , Gehren and Großbreitenbach .

With the entry into force of the Courts Constitution Act on October 1, 1879, the judicial offices were dissolved or converted into local courts and at the same time subordinated to the regional court of Erfurt and the higher regional court of Naumburg .

The five district courts now existed

This structure remained until the incorporation of the Free State of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen into Thuringia on May 1, 1920.

Administrative jurisdiction

With effect from October 1, 1912, two district administrative courts were set up in the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. The district administrative court of Sondershausen was responsible for the subordinate rule, the district administrative court of Gehren for the upper rule. The higher administrative court was the joint Thuringian Higher Administrative Court in Jena. This was also responsible for the administrative courts in Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt , Sachsen-Weimar and Sachsen-Altenburg .
