Juvenile court
With the entry into force of the Youth Courts Act in 1929, the Youth Court was installed in the building of the Vienna Erdberg Prison . This court was responsible for the entire criminal jurisdiction over juveniles at the district court and regional court level together with the guardianship and guardianship jurisdiction.
Under Justice Minister Dieter Böhmdorfer the sense of having its own juvenile court was questioned. Ultimately, Böhmdorfer had the juvenile court dissolved in 2003. Its competencies were transferred to the Vienna district courts and the regional court for criminal matters .
history
On the basis of a resolution of the Provisional National Assembly on January 25, 1919, a juvenile court was set up in Vienna for the first time on October 15, 1920 . This was initially located in the building of the former district court Landstrasse in the Viennese district of the same name and had to decide on all legal youth issues for the greater Vienna area. At that time the corresponding prison was still in the 10th district of Vienna, at the point where the Favoriten prison is located today . In 1922, the juvenile court moved together with the Vienna Erdberg prison to a newly built courthouse on Rüdengasse. The demolition of this building began in November 2014.
In Austria during the Nazi era , the court was overturned in 1939 and merged with the Vienna Regional Court . In 1945 it was restored with the law for the restoration of the Austrian court organization (Court Organization Act 1945 - GOG 1945).
