history

District court building from 1878, it was destroyed in 1945.
The courthouse until 2001

The city of Meiningen was granted jurisdiction as early as 1153 and has been the place of jurisdiction ever since. With the State Treaty of October 17, 1878 between the Kingdom of Prussia, the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen and the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha , a part of the duchy became part of the Meining districts of Hildburghausen, Meiningen and Sonneberg, the Prussian districts Schleusingen and Schmalkalden and the Coburg district Saxony-Coburg and Gotha set up a joint regional court in Meiningen. At the end of 1878, the Meiningen Regional Court moved to Bismarckstrasse 14 (today Neu-Ulmer-Strasse) in a neo-classical building built by Otto Hoppe . By ordinance of April 28, 1879, the following court organization resulted for the regional court district:

Country District courts
Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen District courts of the Meiningischen districts Hildburghausen , Meiningen and Sonneberg
District court Eisfeld | District Court Heldburg | District Court Hildburghausen | District Court Kranichfeld | District Court Meiningen | District Court Römhild | Salzungen District Court | District Court of Schalkau | District Court of Sonneberg | District Court Steinach | Themar District Court | Wasungen District Court
Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha Coburg District
Courts District Court Coburg | Koenigsberg District Court | District Court Neustadt bei Coburg | District Court Rodach | District court Sonnefeld
Kingdom of Prussia District courts of the Prussian districts Schleusingen and Schmalkalden
District court Brotterode | Schleusingen District Court | District Court of Schmalkalden | District Court Steinbach-Hallenberg | District court Suhl

On November 27, 1903, the contract to the joint district court was extended for another 25 years. With the unification of the Free State of Coburg with the Free State of Bavaria , which was implemented by the Reich Law of April 30, 1920 with effect from July 1, 1920, the Coburg district courts were subsequently also eliminated from the Meiningen regional court community. This departure became legally binding in a state treaty between Prussia, Thuringia and Bavaria with effect from April 1, 1921.

In a heavy air raid on February 23, 1945, the building in which the Meiningen District Court was located was completely destroyed. Almost all court files fell victim to this. The court later moved to the former building of the Bank für Thüringen , which was used by Deutsche Bank until 1946 . During the GDR era, it was called the District Court of Suhl - Meiningen from 1952 to 1990 . At that time it was responsible for the territory of the Suhl district. From 1952 to 1963 there was a judicial administration office at the district court .

After the formation of the Free State of Thuringia in October 1990 as a result of German reunification, the Meiningen Regional Court and the Meiningen Public Prosecutor's Office were re-established in November of the same year and have since been responsible for southern and southwestern Thuringia. In 2001 the move to the newly built "Justice Center Meiningen" took place. The regional reform of 1994 made it necessary to change the structure of the authorities in Thuringia. The place of jurisdiction was then redefined on April 1, 2006. The former district of Ilmenau , today part of the Ilm district , moved to the judicial district of the Erfurt Regional Court , while the city of Eisenach and the old district of Eisenach (now part of the Wartburg district) came to the Meiningen judicial district.
