The District Court of Seligenstadt (until 1879 Regional Court of Seligenstadt ) is a court of ordinary jurisdiction that has existed since 1835 and is based in Seligenstadt, Hesse .

The seat of the court is in Seligenstadt at Klein-Welzheimer Straße 1. The judicial district of the district court Seligenstadt comprises the cities and communities of Hainburg , Mainhausen , Rodgau and Seligenstadt (each including all city and districts). All are in the Offenbach district .

Jurisdiction

The District Court of Seligenstadt is responsible in the first instance for all court matters within its judicial district with the exception of lay judges and youth lay judges, commercial, cooperative, association register and insolvency matters, which fall under the jurisdiction of the Offenbach District Court, dunning cases, for which the Hesse District Court Hünfeld is responsible, and finally partnership register matters, which in Hesse are solely the responsibility of the Bad Vilbel District Court.

history

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Darmstadt” was set up as a court of second instance for the Principality of Starkenburg . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or the landlords . The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the founding of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance were transferred to the newly created regional courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. "Landgericht Steinheim" and later "Landgericht Seligenstadt" was therefore the name of the court of first instance from 1821 to 1879, initially in Steinheim and from 1835 in Seligenstadt, today's district court. In the territorial territories of the Starkenburg province , there was still a judicial office in Michelstadt for court cases of the second instance, which was subordinate to the court. The German Courts Constitution Act of 1879 led to a uniform judicial organization throughout the empire . The “Hofgericht Darmstadt” has now become the “ Regional Court of Darmstadt ” as the superior second instance in the province, while the first instance courts have been renamed the District Court.

By ordinance of July 14, 1821, justice and administration were separated in the Grand Duchy of Hessen. In the course of this, the Steinheim Regional Court was formed, the district of which was congruent with the Seligenstadt district and thus had the following components:

With effect from July 1, 1835, the seat of the court was moved from Steinheim to Seligenstadt and renamed the Seligenstadt district court. The reorganization of the judicial districts in the Starkenburg province, which came into force on June 1, 1853 , resulted in extensive changes in relation to the regional court district, while Bieber, Dietesheim, Hausen, Heusenstamm, Lämmerspiel, Mühlheim and Obertshausen had to be transferred to the regional court district Offenbach , the places Nieder-Roden and Ober-Roden , which had previously belonged to the district court district Langen , could be incorporated.

District Court

On October 1, 1879, due to the Courts Constitution Act, the name was changed to the District Court of Seligenstadt, the allocation to the district of the newly established District Court of Darmstadt , and the assignment of Klein- and (Groß-) Steinheim to the now Offenbach District Court and of Ober-Roden to the now district court Langen. When the District Court of Dieburg began its work on July 1, 1905 at the instigation of the Grand Ducal Ministry of Justice , Nieder-Roden was separated from the District Court district of Seligenstadt and assigned to the new Dieburg court.

With effect from May 1, 1948, the municipality of Rembrücken was separated from the district court district of Seligenstadt and added to the district court district of Offenbach. Furthermore, on July 1, 1968, the communities of Babenhausen, Harreshausen, Hergershausen and Sickenhofen had to be handed over to the Dieburg District Court. Today's court district finally came about when the Klein-Auheim district, which was incorporated into the city of Hanau, was handed over to the Hanau District Court on July 1, 1974, and the Nieder-Roden district, which was incorporated into Rodgau, was reintegrated on May 1, 1978.

Superior courts

The district court of Darmstadt is superordinate to the district court of Seligenstadt . The higher regional court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice are superordinate in the next instance .
