District court Oberaula

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oberaula District Court (until 1867 Oberaula Justice Office ) was a court of ordinary jurisdiction until 1945 with its seat in Oberaula in what is today the Schwalm-Eder district in northern Hesse .

history

The court Oberaula existed since the Middle Ages. The jurisdiction of the lower courts was in the Hesse-Kassel by the bailiff of the Office Oberaula perceived.

The reorganization of the judiciary in the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 led to the separation of jurisdiction and administration. The canton of Oberaula was now responsible for administration, the Oberaula Peace Court for jurisdiction. The peace court was subordinate to the district court of Hersfeld , which was responsible for the district of Hersfeld .

With the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1813, the separation of jurisdiction and administration was reversed and the Electorate of Hesse reintroduced the Oberaula office in 1814.

With an edict of June 29, 1821, administration and justice were separated in Kurhessen. Now judicial offices were responsible for the first instance jurisprudence, the administration was taken over by districts (here the district of Ziegenhain ). The justice office was set up in the upper auditorium.

After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia , the justice office became the royal Prussian district court of Oberaula in 1867. Even with the coming into force of the Judicature Act 1877 remained in the District Court Oberaula.

From July 15, 1943, the Oheraula District Court was only a branch of the Treysa District Court and from March 1947 a branch of the Neukirchen District Court . The branch was closed on June 30, 1969. On that day, the district of the former Oberaula District Court was incorporated into the Treysa District Court district.

Supreme Court

The Oberaula Justice Office was subordinate to the Marburg Supreme Court . From 1848 to 1851 there was a higher court in Rotenburg for a short time , the judicial district of which was assigned to the judicial office of Oberaula. After the dissolution of this higher court, Marburg (since 1867 under the name of Marburg Regional Court) again became the competent court of second instance.

building

The judicial office was initially set up on a makeshift basis and did not have its own building. In 1842 a three-story quarry stone building was built as a courthouse. It also included the judge's apartment and the judicial prison. The house was used for court purposes until the court was finally closed in 1969. In 1970 the municipality acquired the building and used it as a town hall. The address is Hersfelder Straße 4.
