This list of judicial districts in Burgenland lists all judicial districts in the federal state of Burgenland .

history

The German-speaking areas of western Hungary belonged to the Hungarian crown until 1919. In contrast to the division of the Austrian crown lands into districts and judicial districts, the Kingdom of Hungary was divided into counties and chair districts. The German-speaking areas were in the counties Wieselburg, Ödenburg and Eisenburg. After the German-speaking areas of western Hungary were allocated to Austria in 1919, a new political and judicial division had to be created for the new federal state of Burgenland. Burgenland was therefore assigned to the Higher Regional Court of Vienna by ordinance in 1921, with the establishment of a regional court in Ödenburg for civil and criminal jurisdiction. The district courts of Eisenstadt, Güssing, Jennersdorf, Mattersburg, Neusiedl am See, Oberpullendorf, Oberwart and Ödenburg were also subordinated to the Ödenburg regional court, whereby the jurisdiction of the district courts was usually defined congruently with the administrative districts of the same name. The jurisdiction of the district court of Ödenburg, however, should extend over the Ödenburg city and rural district, the jurisdiction of the district court of Eisenstadt over the cities of Eisenstadt, Rust and the Eisenstadt-Umgebung district .

After the defeat in the referendum in Ödenburg , Austria had to cede Ödenburg and the surrounding area to Hungary. As a result, Ödenburg did not become the seat of a regional and district court as planned, nor could the seat of the state government or the public prosecutor's office be realized in the city. The other judicial districts were subsequently subordinated to the Regional Court for Criminal Matters Vienna and the Regional Court for Civil Law Matters Vienna .

It was not until January 1st, 1959, that the Eisenstadt regional court was created, to which all district courts in Burgenland are subject to this day.

The division of the other judicial districts, on the other hand, has remained unchanged to this day, except for the failed judicial district of Ödenburg, probably also because the judicial districts in Burgenland were much larger than in the Austrian comparison and therefore merging district courts as in other federal states has not been necessary up to now were.

On January 1, 2018, the Jennersdorf district court was dissolved and the municipalities were added to the Güssing judicial district.
