history
The Meersburg court was established in 1813 as the fourth court in Baden. It supplemented the existing court courts of Freiburg (for the province of the Upper Rhine), Rastatt (for the province of the Middle Rhine) and Mannheim (for the province of the Lower Rhine). The four court courts were subordinate to the " Oberhofgericht for the Electorate of Baden " with seat in Mannheim .
In civil matters, the court court was the first instance for the members of the grand ducal and noble families and the upper court servants and ministers. It was also a court of second instance. An appeal to the court court was possible from a value in dispute of 100 guilders .
In criminal matters, the court court was responsible if, on the one hand, sentences of more than 4 weeks in prison were to be imposed and it was not a case of capital crimes that were dealt with directly by the court of higher courts.
