List of jurisdictions in Upper Austria
This list of court districts in Upper Austria lists all existing court districts as well as the former court districts in the federal state of Upper Austria .
history
The judicial districts that exist today go back to 1850. First of all, with a decree of the Imperial and Royal Higher Regional Court of Linz on May 10, 1850, the previous princely and patrimonial courts had to subordinate the judicial business to the newly appointed princely courts. On July 4, 1850, a further decree of the Higher Regional Court established 70 judicial districts for the federal states of Upper Austria and Salzburg. As a result, 47 judicial districts were created in what is now the federal state of Upper Austria.
