District Court of Laufen
The district court of Laufen was a Bavarian district court of the older order that existed from 1810 to 1879 and was based in the city of Laufen .
history
Laufen was the seat of a nursing court while it belonged to Salzburg and became part of the Rupertiwinkel in 1810 provisionally and in 1816, after the Congress of Vienna , finally in the Kingdom of Bavaria .
When it belonged to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810, Laufen received a regional court like the one that was created in the rest of Bavaria in 1802. The District Court of Laufen lost a large part of its jurisdiction due to the Congress of Vienna. In 1818 the then regional court Teisendorf was dissolved and its area of responsibility was incorporated into the regional court of Laufen with the exception of the municipalities of Anger, Högl and Piding, which were added to the regional court of Reichenhall .
The "District Court of the Elderly Order" located in Laufen was a state administrative unit of the lower level until 1862, with administrative tasks similar to today's districts . At the same time, the regional court of the older order was also the judicial organ of the lower jurisdiction and thus the entrance instance of the ordinary jurisdiction , comparable to today's district court . But it also performed tasks of the higher judiciary (like today's regional courts ) and performed notarial activities.
The function of the regional courts as an administrative authority and at the same time a judicial body was viewed as a structural flaw in the Bavarian constitution , as it affected judicial independence . In addition to his office as judge, the judge was bound by instructions through his simultaneous function as an administrative officer. To remedy this deficiency, the Judiciary Act was passed on January 10, 1861. This law made it possible to separate the judiciary and administration. The administrative tasks were separated from the regional courts and transferred to the newly created district offices . The remaining institutions for the administration of justice initially retained the designation of the regional court. On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act on October 1, 1879, the district court of Laufen was established , the district of which was the district office of Laufen .
