The Imperial Court Court Rottweil or Court Court Rottweil was an Imperial Court Court in Rottweil of the late Middle Ages and early modern times in Swabia .

history

Its name is derived from the royal court located in Rottweil, but does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about its constitutional legal position. The court had jurisdiction over civil proceedings, compliance and guidance, as well as matters of voluntary jurisdiction. If a previous court judgment (of a subordinate court, such as a city court or a district court ) was challenged, it was, at least in theory, the last resort for everyone. The court judge presided over the court . The court judge's office was hereditary and for many centuries in the possession of the Counts of Sulz or their representatives and after their expiry came to the Counts of Schwarzenberg as the hereditary court judge in Rottweil .

In 1510 Wilhelm Werner von Zimmer was court judge in Rottweil. Christoph von Nellenburg-Tengen was appointed court judge for one year as thanks for appearing at the Reichstag in Augsburg in 1530 .

The court court exercised imperial jurisdiction in Swabia and far beyond, and was thus in competition with the developing territorial jurisdiction of the sovereigns. Especially since the establishment of the Reich Chamber Court, the court court has been exposed to massive attacks by the imperial estates , who used the opportunity to appeal to the new court in order to interrupt processes at the court court and undermine the advantages of the Rottweiler process (lower costs, faster proceedings). Towards the end of the 16th century, its authority was permanently damaged, even if it was never formally revoked until the end of the Old Kingdom in 1806.
