history
Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine
After the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by the German Reich in 1871, the court structure was re-regulated with the law on the amendment of the court constitution of July 14, 1871 and the implementing provisions for this from the same day. The existing arrondissement courts were repealed and regional courts established as courts of second instance. The Mulhouse Regional Court was subordinate to the Colmar Higher Regional Court . The regional court district included the district of the district court of Mulhouse and the German part of the district court of Belfort .
At the district court Colmar a jury has been set up, which was responsible for the regional court districts Colmar and Mulhouse.
On October 1, 1879, the changes to the Courts Constitution Act came into force. The entrance courts, which had been called the Friedensgericht in France , were now uniformly incorporated into local courts in the empire .
The following district courts were subordinate to the regional court:
| District Court | Seat | Rhine Shipping Court | Number judges |

In 1880 the court had a president, two directors and eight judges and was responsible for about 247,000 residents.
With the reannexion of Alsace-Lorraine by France after the First World War in 1918, the French judicial organization was reintroduced.
German occupation 1940–1944
After the conquest of Alsace and Lorraine in the summer of 1940, a German civil administration was set up under CdZ Robert Wagner , with the structure of the courts essentially based on the structures from 1918. The previous cantonal courts were converted into local courts , the previous first instance courts into regional courts . The Mulhouse Regional Court was subordinate to the Kolmar Higher Regional Court . From November 1, 1941, the German Courts Constitution Act and the Code of Civil Procedure also applied in Alsace and Lorraine . The areas that were subject to a CdZ were treated as imperial territory , but not annexed and therefore formally did not belong to the empire.
At the end of 1944, the German occupation collapsed with the advance of the Allies. The old judicial organization was restored.
