history
After the death of the Saxon King Friedrich August II, the abolition of patrimonial legislation was decreed under his successor, King Johann, 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 1st, 1856. The newly formed Rötha court office was subordinate to the Leipzig District Court.
The civil and criminal jurisdiction in the soft image of the city was administered in all its branches by the Rötha court office. The police and the police jurisdiction, however, with the exception of passport and foreign affairs, which was also administered by the Pegau court office, belonged to the mayor and the municipal council, to which the entire welfare, security, commercial and servant police as well as the guild system were subordinate.
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 Rötha court office was integrated into the Borna District Administration, which was newly created in 1874 and is based in the city of Borna .
On October 14, 1874, the Rötha court office ended its activities altogether; the legal powers for the city of Rötha with Podschütz and Theka as well as 14 communities were transferred in full to the Borna court office from October 15, 1874, and to the Leipzig I court office for another twelve municipalities . A district court was only founded in Rötha in 1910.
