The Mellrichstadt Regional Court was an older Bavarian regional court that existed from 1804 to 1879 and was based in Mellrichstadt in what is now the Rhön-Grabfeld district . In the Kingdom of Bavaria , the regional courts were judicial and administrative authorities, which were replaced in administrative matters by the district offices in 1862 and in legal matters by the local courts in 1879 .

history

Already in the 13th century Mellrichstadt was owned and also the official and court seat of the Hochstift Würzburg and remained so until the secularization in 1803 in favor of Bavaria. In 1804, the Mellrichstadt district court was established in the course of the administrative restructuring of Bavaria . From 1806 to 1814 it was a regional court in the Grand Duchy of Würzburg . This came in 1817 to the newly founded Untermainkreis , the forerunner of the later administrative district of Lower Franconia . In 1862, the Mellrichstadt district office took over the administrative tasks of the regional court. In 1879 the district court was converted into the district court of Mellrichstadt by the law on the court constitution that was introduced across the empire .
