prehistory
In 1794 revolutionary France conquered the areas on the left bank of the Rhine . These were annexed by France on November 4, 1797 . In the Peace of Campo Formio in 1797 and finally in the Peace of Lunéville , this annexation was recognized by the war opponents. France introduced the French administrative and judicial organization in areas on the left bank of the Rhine. At the level of the Arrondissement of Aachen , a tribunal of first instance has been set up for civil law cases. The tribunal of the first instance was made up of 7 professional judges, a commissioner, a deputy commissioner, a Greffier (court clerk) and four substitute judges. For criminal cases, a criminal court with its seat in Aachen was set up at the level of the Département de la Roer . The first judges at the criminal court were Meller (chairman), Sybertz and Pellegrin (judges), Calenberg and Zurhoven (deputy judges), Hanne (government commissioner) and Leroy (court clerk). The language of the courts at both courts was French.
