District Court Hof (Bavarian administrative unit)

The Hof district court was an older Bavarian district court that existed from 1812 to 1879 and was based in Hof . 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 .

In 1812, as part of the administrative restructuring of Bavaria, the Hof district court was established. This was added to the Mainkreis , whose capital was Bamberg .
