Law Office (Göttingen)
The Goettingen Law Office was a law office, i.e. a court of second instance in the Kingdom of Hanover .
history
In the Kingdom of Westphalia , the judicial and administrative organization that had grown over time had been completely broken. The previous court courts and offices had been abolished. At the head of the court organization stood the Appellationshof Kassel , including the Criminal Court of Göttingen and the district courts of Göttingen and Einbeck for the Department of Leine . Below that were the courts of justice as the entrance courts.
After 1813, a complete reorganization of the judiciary was necessary. At the top was the Higher Appeal Court of Celle , among which 8 law offices were re-established as middle courts (later the Arensberg law office Haselünne was added). In the first instance there were 274 lower courts, including 162 offices , 64 patrimonial courts and 48 magistrates .
The law firm in Göttingen was given responsibility for Göttingen- Grubenhagen with the Harz Mountains , which had been with the Hanover court before the Napoleonic era. Added to this was the part of the calibration field awarded to Hanover. It was established by Royal Rescript of December 13, 1816 and opened on March 1, 1817 by Christian Ludwig August von Arnswaldt .
The staff of the law office consisted of the office director, five office councilors and two office assistant professors as well as two office secretaries and three office lists. The Calenberg-Grubenhagensche landscape had the right to present one of the councilors. This tied in with the class character of the former court courts. The court was second instance for proceedings of the entrance courts and first instance for the so-called chancellery persons and things. The Calenberg Chancellery Regulations of 1663 as well as Prussian and Hessian laws were authoritative for civil proceedings, while the criminal instructions of April 30, 1736 were decisive for proceedings in criminal matters, for which the judicial offices were almost exclusively the judicial authorities.
After the revolution of 1848 was the Kingdom of Hanover , the jurisdiction of the administration separated and the patrimonial abolished. The judicial offices were abolished and replaced by higher courts . In Göttingen this was the Göttingen Higher Court .
