District Court of Mauthausen

history

Following the dissolution of the manorial courts as well as the village and court market courts, an independent district court was founded in Mauthausen in 1850, but it was incorporated into the newly created district office in Perg as a court office as early as 1853. Since this was not constitutional, the court office was dissolved in 1868 and the district court was re-established with a strict separation of powers between the judiciary and administrative authorities.

From 1857 the kk district court of Mauthausen was housed in the Marktplatz 55 building belonging to the market town of Mauthausen . At the same time a prison was set up there, which was only closed in 1974.

On January 1, 2014, the judicial district was dissolved and the parishes were assigned to the judicial district of Perg .
