District Court of Kötzting

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The district court Kötzting was a Bavarian "district court of the older order" in what is now Bad Kötzting in Bavaria, which existed from 1803 to 1879 .

history

Kötzting had been the seat of a nursing court of the Duchy of Bavaria since 1371 . The district court of Kötzting as a judicial and administrative authority was established in 1803. With effect from July 1, 1862, the Kötzting district office was set up as a purely administrative authority, and the previously existing interdependence of the administration of justice and administration in the lower administrative area was lifted. On July 15, 1862, the previous district court was converted into a district office and appointed a district officer first class. The jurisdiction of the regional court (as a judicial authority) was divided between two regional courts: Kötzting with 30 communities and Neukirchen b.Hl.Blut with 16 communities. As the initial instance of the lower jurisdiction, the regional courts were renamed uniformly in 1879 by the Courts Constitution Act in the district court , as was the now district court Kötzting , which existed until 1973.
