history

With the law on the change of court districts in the state of Thuringia of May 19, 1949, a regional court was set up for the first time at the Mühlhausen site. In return, the regional courts of Altenburg, Weimar, Gotha, Eisenach and Nordhausen were repealed. The then regional court district comprised the districts of Mühlhausen , Nordhausen , Langensalza , Sondershausen, Worbis and the urban districts of Mühlhausen and Nordhausen. With an executive order on the seats and districts of the district courts in the state of Thuringia from September 16, 1949, the district court district was specified in more detail.

With the law of July 23, 1952, the district court was repealed. Now there was only one district court in each district capital of the former state of Thuringia.

From 1993

Until the beginning of the 1990s, Mühlhausen was only a district court, most recently at Untermarkt 17, where the Mühlhausen district court is still located today. In the course of the creation of court structures in accordance with the Federal Republic of Germany's GVG, it quickly became clear that the previously existing judicial district of the Erfurt District Court, with around 1.3 million inhabitants at the end of 1992, was significantly larger than the districts of the Gera and Meiningen District Courts . In a draft law of March 10, 1993, the division of the Erfurt judicial district was recommended and the establishment of a fourth regional court district in Northern Thuringia was suggested. This was justified with the relief of the large Erfurt judicial district as well as greater proximity to the citizen in view of the great distances from Erfurt to Northern Thuringia. As an alternative, a possible regional court location in Nordhausen was considered, but its layout would have had significantly fewer court residents compared to the regional court district. In addition, the premises of the Theodor Neubauer Erfurt / Mühlhausen University of Education, which was in the process of being dissolved, at Schillerweg 59, provided appropriate accommodation. The city of Nordhausen received the seat of a labor court as compensation. The LG Mühlhausen was established on September 1, 1993; the founding act took place on October 7, 1993 in the Mühlhausen Marienkirche. The now regional court district included the district courts Bad Langensalza , Eisenach , Heiligenstadt , Mühlhausen , Nordhausen , Sondershausen and Worbis . Until the autumn of 1994 two institutions stayed in the house, since only then did the last department of the college of education move out. With the establishment of a focus on white-collar crime at the Mühlhausen public prosecutor's office, the regional court was given central jurisdiction for negotiations in white-collar criminal proceedings. Above all, these proceedings, with mostly several defendants, created a lack of space, so that the former gymnasium of the pedagogical university was converted into a provisional hearing room. These increasing difficulties led to new building requests, which already included a building design and preparatory work on a designated area. However, the plans were suddenly stopped by the government declaration of the then Thuringian Prime Minister Dieter Althaus on September 9, 2004 before the Thuringian state parliament, which announced the dissolution of a regional court and a public prosecutor's office. Since the local authorities, employees and citizens related to the Mühlhausen district court depending on the situation, there was a coordinated movement of the lawyers' association, officials, local authorities and administrations under the motto Together for Mühlhausen - Together for our region against these closure plans. In the end, the new building plans were discarded to save costs and in April 2006 a move was made to the partly newly built former premises of the former district administration and the closed pipe works at the Brunnenstrasse and Eisenacher Strasse locations. During the same period, the regional court district was restructured by law with effect from April 1, 2006. The district court district of Eisenach switched to the district court of Erfurt , the previously independent district courts of Bad Langensalza and Worbis were downgraded to branches. While the branch of the Mühlhausen District Court in Bad Langensalza still exists today, the Worbis branch of the Heilbad Heiligenstadt District Court was closed on July 1, 2007. Another new addition was the former Artern District Court , which was downgraded to a branch of the Sondershausen District Court , but which was dissolved on October 15, 2007.
