history

On the basis of the law of 11 August 1855 on the future establishment of the first instance authorities for the administration of justice and administration in Saxony, the two Royal Court Offices Leipzig I and II were opened in 1856 for the area around Leipzig. The division between the two offices was based on an imaginary north-south line into two approximately equal court districts, the court office Leipzig II was assigned to the western one, the eastern court office with the number I.

The area of ​​the Judicial Office II covered about 160 km² and initially had about 26,000 inhabitants. Franz Christian Gustav Stimmel, previously director of the Ratslandgericht Leipzig, was initially head of the facility as court clerk, but was followed after a few months by the previous director of the Royal District Court of Zwickau, Carl Moritz Böhme, due to a promotion. The Leipzig II court office had 18 employees when it opened and 22 when it closed. The weekly newspaper “Leipziger Dorfanzeiger” served as the official gazette. The Leipzig II court office was subordinate to the Royal District Court of Leipzig.

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 office were transferred in 1874 to the newly formed Amtshauptmannschaft Leipzig . Justice matters were taken over by the Leipzig District Court from 1879 .

Gastwirtschaft G. A. III (Court Office III)

In Peterssteinweg 3, not far from the former Pleißenburg, there was an inn "Court Office III" - abbreviated to "GA III" - an offer of "continuation" after a hearing in court offices I or II. The restaurant lasted longer than the judicial offices. The picture opposite is from around 1920, and G. A. III also appears in the Leipzig telephone directory from 1943. The house was destroyed in the air raid on Leipzig on December 4, 1943 .
