prehistory
Landvogteigericht Schneidemühl
With the first partition of Poland in 1772, Schneidemühl and the network district of Poland came to Prussia . On April 25, 1772, the State Judicial College was formed as the central judicial authority by royal order. It was initially headed by the President of the Königsberg Court Court, Count Finck von Finckenstein, then the Secret Chief Financial Officer and Domain Councilor Franz Balthasar Schönberg von Brenckenhoff. Landvogteigichte were set up as middle courts. A Landvogteigericht in Jastrow was planned for the districts of Kamin (Flatow) and Deutsch Krone. The king refused, however, and ordered the court to be transferred to Schneidemühl. From 1775, the Landvogteigericht Schneidemühl existed. The higher court was the court court Bromberg . Subordinate were the city courts and the district offices Filehne, Neuhof (Kreis Deutsch Krone), Deutsch Krone, Märkisch Friedland, Kamin, Krojanke, Margonin and Czarnikau as well as the patrimonial courts of these areas. The court had three judges.
District Justice Commission Schneidemühl
With the new judicial constitution of June 1, 1782, the provincial courts were repealed. The new middle court was now the District Justice Commission Schneidemühl. This district justice commission was the supervisory authority and, in some cases, the second instance court over the city and patrimonial courts in the Deutsch Krone district. The first head was Justice Director Salomon.
District Court of Schneidemühl (1818 to 1835)
In 1818 the regional court of Schneidemühl was set up, to which peace courts in Chodziesen, Filehne, Lobsens, Nakel, Schneidemühl and Schönlanke were assigned. It was the intermediate instance between the peace courts and the Higher Appeal Court in Poznan.
District and City Court of Schneidemühl (1835 to 1849)
By ordinance of June 6, 1834, the 7 major regional courts of the Province of Posen were dissolved and a regional and municipal court was formed for each district. The previous district court district was thus divided into the three districts of the district and city courts of Lobsens (Wirsitz district), Schneidemühl (Chodziesen district) and Schönlanke (Czarnikau district).
District court Schneidemühl
In 1849 the court organization in Prussia was changed again. District courts in civil matters and jury courts in criminal matters have now been introduced. Accordingly, a Schneidemühl district court and a jury court were set up, which was also responsible for the district courts in Lobsens and Schönlanke, i.e. for the entire district of the district court, which was dissolved in 1834/35. These courts remained in function without any major changes until the Reich Justice Acts came into force .
The district court from 1879
The judicial district comprised the previous jury district and the previous district of the district court Deutsch Krone belonging to the province of West Prussia, or the districts of Czarnikau , Kolmar i.Posen , Deutsch-Krone and Wirsitz . The court had a president, two directors and 8 judges. The regional court was subordinate to the higher regional court in Poznan . The following 13 local courts were subordinate to him:

In 1919, the higher regional court district of Poznan was largely given to Poland. The district courts of Meseritz and Schneidemühl, which remained (partially) under the German Empire, were added to the Marienwerder Higher Regional Court . The Schneidemühl district court lost six of its district courts in full and three in part. A partial replacement for this offered the allocation of the German remaining parts of the Konitz district court (district courts Baldenburg, Flatow, Preussisch Friedland, Hammerstein and Schlochau).
As part of the repeal of the Marienwerder Higher Regional Court, the Schneidemühl Regional Court was subordinated to the Stettin Higher Regional Court on January 1, 1943 . The judicial district now included the urban district of Schneidemühl, the districts of Deutsch Krone, Flatow , the Netzekreis and part of the district of Schlochau . Subordinate local courts were now:
The history of the Schneidemühl District Court ended in 1944 with the occupation of the city by Soviet troops.

In 1825 the first courthouse was built. Extensive expansions took place in the German Empire. The building was destroyed in World War II.
