The high courts of the Landgraviate of Thurgau in the middle of the 18th century

As High Court during were Ancien Régime in Landgraviate Thurgau dominions understood that directly the Federal Bailiff in Frauenfeld were under. In the high courts, the governor exercised not only the high , but also the lower jurisdiction .

Origin and End

In 1460 the seven federal towns of Zurich , Lucerne , Uri , Schwyz , Unterwalden , Zug and Glarus conquered the Landgraviate of Thurgau. The confederates expressly recognized the claims of third parties, because almost everywhere the lower jurisdiction belonged to the patrician money nobility from the neighboring cities of Zurich and Constance , the monasteries or the bishop of Constance . A number of farms and villages were under Habsburg- Austrian administration before 1460 and came under the administration and jurisdiction of the governor as so-called high courts.

With the establishment of the Helvetic Republic , the high courts were abolished.
