history
After the death of King Friedrich August II of Saxony, 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 1, 1856. The newly established court office in Zwenkau 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 court office of Zwenkau. The police and the police jurisdiction, however, with the exception of passport and foreign affairs, which were also administered by the Zwenkau court office, belonged to the mayor and city 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 the authorities for internal administration of April 21, 1873, the Pegau court office was integrated into the Leipzig office, which was created in 1874 and is based in the trade fair city of Leipzig .
The court office in Zwenkau was replaced in 1879 by the newly founded District Court of Zwenkau 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.
