The Regional Court of Wunsiedel was a Bavarian regional court of the older order that existed from 1812 to 1879 and was based in Wunsiedel in what is now the district of Wunsiedel in the Fichtel Mountains .

history

With the introduction of the Prussian land law in 1795, all previous state and administrative governing bodies and upper offices were abolished. At the same time, the administration and judiciary were separated . A royal Prussian justice office was set up for the district around Wunsiedel and Wunsiedel got its own city court. In 1810, Wunsiedel became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria , and in 1812 the regional courts of Wunsiedel and Kirchenlamitz as well as Rehau and Selb were established. On January 6, 1812, the Wunsiedel district court was established in the course of the administrative reorganization of Bavaria . This was added to the Mainkreis , whose capital was Bamberg .

In 1862 the offices of the Wunsiedel Regional Court were relocated to Katharinenstrasse 14. With the Courts Constitution Act of 1879, the Regional Court was converted into a local court .
