The judicial district comprised areas in the north of Bukovina or in today's Romania . After the First World War , Austria had to cede the entire judicial district to Romania, after the Second World War the area became part of the Soviet Union or Ukraine .

history

In the course of the reorganization of the judiciary in the Austrian Empire, the general principles of the court system in the crown lands were approved by Emperor Franz Joseph I in June 1849 . Justice Minister Anton von Schmerling then had plans to organize the judiciary in Bukovina drawn up, which the emperor also approved by ordinance on November 6, 1850. The reorganization went hand in hand with the abolition of the princely courts as well as the patrimonial courts , with Schmerling originally planning the establishment of 17 district courts and the Bukovina to be subordinated to the Stanislau Higher Regional Court . In the end, the authorities created only 15 district courts, which were assigned to the Chernivtsi Regional Court and the Lemberg Higher Regional Court . The establishment of the mixed district offices, which had to look after the administration as well as the judiciary, finally became officially effective on September 29, 1855, whereby the judicial district Kotzman from the communities Kotzmann, Berhometh am Pruth, Burdey, Chliwesti, Dawidesti, Duboutz, Hawrilesti, Juzenitz , Iwankoutz, Kliwodin, Laszkowka, Luzan, Maletynelz, Old-Mamajesti, Neu-Mamajesti with Strilecki Kąt, Nepolokoutz, Orszeny, Oszechlib, Piedekoutz with Zopeny, Rewakoutz, Rewna, Sziteljpenitz, Suchowerka, Walzka, Szyszkoulzka. For crimes and offenses, the judicial district was subordinate to the Chernivtsi Regional Court. As part of the separation of the political from judicial administration made the judicial district Kotzman from 1868 together with the judicial district Zastawna the district Kotzman . As of March 28, 1870, as part of a reform of the judicial districts, there were extensive territorial changes between the judicial districts of Bukowina, with the Kotzmann judicial district being expanded by the reform to include the communities of Zeleneu with Plesnitza and Samsonowka and the associated estate from the Stanestie judicial district . At the same time, the Kotzman judicial district had to surrender the communities of Alt-Mamajestie, Neu-Mamajestie, Rewna with Burdei and Strilecki-Kut and the associated estates to the Chernivtsi judicial district. On October 1, 1905, the judicial district Zastawna was separated from the district Kotzmann and raised to an independent district, the district Zastawna , whereupon the judicial district Kotzmann became congruent with the district of the same name.

The Kotzmann judicial district in 1854 had a population of 31,603 in an area of ​​6.8 square miles. In 1869 the judicial district housed a population of 34,681 people, by 1900 the population had increased to 43,131 people. In 1900 37,997 of the population stated Ruthenian (88.1%) as a colloquial language, 4,285 people spoke German (9.9%), 74 Romanian (0.2%) and 740 another language (1.7%).
