Burghausen District Court

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Burghausen Regional Court was an older Bavarian regional court that existed from 1803 to 1879 and was based in Burghausen in today's Altötting district . In the Kingdom of Bavaria , the regional courts were judicial and administrative authorities, which were replaced in administrative matters by the district offices in 1862 and in legal matters by the local courts in 1879 .

history

Burghausen was the seat of one of the four rent offices of the Duchy of Bavaria . In 1779 Burghausen became a border town with the loss of the Innviertel as a hinterland. In 1803 during the administrative reorganization of Bavaria , the district court Burghausen built. From 1817 it belonged to the Lower Danube District (capital Passau). In the course of the renaming of the former districts of Bavaria in 1837 to the government districts still valid today, the area was changed between the Isar and Lower Danube districts or Upper and Lower Bavaria , which brought the area around Burghausen to Upper Bavaria.

The Altötting district office was formed in 1862 through the merger (in administrative terms) of the older district courts Altötting and Burghausen. The regional court in Burghausen was only responsible for jurisdiction. On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act on October 1, 1879, a local court was established in Burghausen, and the older regional court was dissolved at the same time.
