Freiberg court office
The court District Freiberg was in the years 1856 to 1874, the lowest administrative unit after the abolition of Patrimonialgesetzgebung in the Kingdom of Saxony. It had its official seat in the mountain town of Freiberg .
history
Under King John of Saxony , after the death of his predecessor in office, patrimonial legislation was abolished, following the example of other states of the German Confederation. The centrally located district courts and court offices in almost all larger cities replaced the courts of the lowest instance that had previously existed in the city and state of the Kingdom of Saxony. The details of the administrative reform were regulated by the Saxon Court Constitution Act of August 11, 1855 and the ordinance on the formation of judicial districts of September 2, 1856.
The deadline for the entry into force of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Saxony was October 1, 1856. The Freiberg court office was subordinate to the competent Freiberg district court. Like Zwickau, Freiberg was also the seat of a district court and a court office. In such cities, the properties of a court office for the administration of justice within the soft image of the city belonged to the district court. The city council was responsible for the police and the police judiciary, with the exception of passport and foreign affairs, which were administered by the judicial office. He was responsible for the entire welfare, security, commercial and servant police as well as the municipal guild system.
After the restructuring of the court organization in accordance with the law on the organization of the authorities for internal administration of April 21, 1873, the administrative powers of the court offices were transferred to the reorganized or newly formed administrative authorities in 1874.
Since the previous royal court was called the royal court office, its board has held the title of court captain.
In the course of the restructuring of the Saxon court organization in accordance with the law on the organization of authorities for internal administration of April 21, 1873, the Freiberg judicial office became part of the Freiberg district administration, which was newly created in 1874 .
The Freiberg Court Office was replaced in 1879 by the newly founded Freiberg District Court on the basis of the law on the provisions for the implementation of the Courts Constitution Act in the German Reich of January 27, 1877 and the law on the jurisdiction of courts in matters of non-contentious jurisdiction of March 1, 1879 .
