Nuremberg Regional Court

The Nuremberg Regional Court was an older Bavarian regional court with its seat in Nuremberg from 1808 to 1879 . With the renaming of the regional court to the district court, a new regional court in Nuremberg was established as a middle instance, which existed until 1932 and was replaced by the regional court in Nuremberg-Fürth .
