history
In today's Rottweil law was already spoken in antiquity - by both the Celts and the Romans . During the 8th century a domain district court was established in Rottweil . In the 13th century a criminal court ( Malefizgericht , Pürschgericht ) was added. During the 14th century the domain district court strengthened to become the "Imperial Court Court ", to "the holy Rich's supreme court". Locally, it was no longer just responsible for the surrounding area. His district extended into Alsace , Cologne and today's Thuringia . The Imperial Court of Justice retained this function until the end of the Holy Roman Empire in the 19th century, i.e. for almost 500 years. During this time, some responsibilities were transferred to the Reich Chamber of Commerce, which made Rottweiler less important.
With the Peace of Vienna , the "Landvogtei am upper Neckar" , which was administered from Rottweil, came into being. This was linked to the seat of a “ Higher Regional Court ”, which, however, only had local significance.
In 1848 jury courts were also introduced in Rottweil. From the Tübingen District Court , the judges occasionally came to Rottweil to hold meetings there. In 1868 Rottweil itself became the seat of a district court, in 1879 this - like all district courts in Württemberg - became a regional court.
The current courthouse was built in the Art Nouveau style between 1908 and 1910 . In 1910 it was used today as a district and regional court. It is a listed building. The Rottweil public prosecutor's office, which was originally also housed here, now has its own building in the immediate vicinity.
