District Court Wetzlar
The District Court of Wetzlar was a court of ordinary jurisdiction between 1849 and 1879 in Wetzlar, then Prussian .
history
The area of the Wetzlar district came to Prussia as a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and was part of the Rhine Province there . In the district area, however, the princes of Solms-Braunfels still had civil rights , and lengthy negotiations with the central state took place in the years after 1815. From 1827 these were organized as the Princely Solms-Braunfels government , which formed a real sub-rule in the Kingdom of Prussia. The separation of administration and justice (as in most of the German states at that time) was not yet given. The government was the administrative authority and at the same time the patrimonial court of second instance, to which the first instance Solms-Braunfels'schen patrimonial courts were subordinate. In the March Revolution there were violent uprisings against the princely government, which could only be put down with the help of Prussian troops.
On May 6, a treaty was signed between the princes of Solms-Braunfels and the Kingdom of Prussia, in which the prince confirmed the final waiver of government rights. From May 15, the newly established Wetzlar District Court was responsible for the jurisdiction and the District Administrator in Wetzlar for the administration.
The Solms-Braunfels patrimonial courts were repealed. The judicial district of the district court included the district of Wetzlar. The judicial offices of Atzbach , Braunfels , Ehringshausen and Hohensolms were subordinate to him . It was subordinate to the Justice Senate Ehrenbreitstein .
With the German Courts Constitution Act of January 27, 1877, which came into force on October 1, 1879 , the existing district court of Wetzlar was repealed and the district of Wetzlar was divided into three district court districts. These were the Ehringshausen District Court , the Braunfels District Court and the Wetzlar District Court .
