District court Bockenheim

The Bockenheim District Court (1831–1866: Bockenheim Justice Office ) was a court of ordinary jurisdiction in Bockenheim , now a district of Frankfurt am Main .

history

The then still independent city of Bockenheim was part of the Electorate of Hesse . There administration and judiciary were separated in 1821 and the Bornheimerberg Regional Court was responsible for jurisdiction in Bockenheim. In 1831 the regional court was dissolved and divided into the Bergen Justice Office and the Bockenheim Justice Office. The higher court for the province of Hanau with its seat in Hanau acted as court of second instance . The judges carried the official designation "judicial officer" or "judicial officer". The first judicial officers were Messrs. Scheffer, Bernhard August Murhard, and Carl Franz Walther (made an honorary citizen in 1839).

The judicial office was initially located in the town hall of Bockenheim, Kirchplatz 2 ( ^▼ ). At the beginning of March 1839, the new office building at Kurfürstenstrasse 6 ( ^▼ ), which had been under construction since 1837, was opened. With a contract dated August 21, 1834, the city had undertaken to provide the building site and acquired it for 805  fl . The city added 2,500 guilders to the construction costs.

With the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia in 1867, the Bockenheim Justice Office was converted into the royal Prussian district court Bockenheim. With the law of March 4, 1878 and the ordinance of July 26, 1878, the Bockenheim District Court was upheld. The second instance was the Frankfurt am Main regional court .

On April 1, 1895, Bockenheim was incorporated into Frankfurt. At the same time, the Bockenheim district court was dissolved and its district court was assigned to that of the Frankfurt district court.

Judicial district

The judicial district included the city of Bockenheim as well as Eckenheim , Eschersheim and Ginnheim .

For Frankfurt-Praunheim , the privileges of the Counts of Solms-Rödelheim continued to apply in relation to the lower jurisdiction . These were taken care of by the electoral count Solms-Rödelheimschen Justice Office Praunheim zu Bockenheim. The jurisprudence was carried out by the staff of the Bockenheim Justice Office. Even if the staff were identical, the applicable law was different.
