List of judicial districts in Lower Austria

This list of court districts in Lower Austria lists all 26 existing as well as the former court districts in the Austrian state of Lower Austria .

history

The judicial districts that exist today go back to 1849/50. After the abolition of the patrimonial courts , the judicial business was subordinated to the newly appointed sovereign courts. These were created for Lower Austria in Korneuburg, St. Pölten, Krems, Wiener Neustadt and Vienna.

The separation of Vienna from Lower Austria between 1920 and 1922 also meant the elimination of numerous judicial districts from the state of Lower Austria, and the number of judicial districts in Lower Austria was gradually reduced in the course of the following decades. In 1923 there were 66 judicial districts, but by 1951 the number had been reduced to 59 judicial districts

After the number of judicial districts had remained practically stable at 60 until 1981, there were only 36 judicial districts in Lower Austria in 2005.

Of the 32 court districts still in existence at that time, nine were merged with others on January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2014, respectively. Ebreichsdorf hiked to Baden, Haag and Waidhofen an der Ybbs to Amstetten, Gloggnitz to Neunkirchen, Laa an der Thaya to Mistelbach, Stockerau to Korneuburg, Ybbs to Melk and Zistersdorf to Gänserndorf.

The purkersdorf judicial district was to be merged with the district court in Vienna-Hietzing, creating a judicial district across federal state boundaries for the first time. However, that plan was postponed in 2016.

Originally, the district courts concerned should also be closed at the same time as the dissolution. However, this was not possible in some of the former locations. The courts in Waidhofen an der Ybbs, Haag, Ybbs and Gloggnitz had to remain open for an indefinite period because there was no space at the new locations or a planned extension had not yet started.

On September 1, 2017, the district courts of Haag and Waidhofen an der Ybbs, which had been dissolved since 2014, were re-established.
