history

In Germany, criminal proceedings were organized as an inquisition process until the end of the HRR , and the judge was also the investigative authority. During the French era , the Cinq codes were introduced in the French-occupied territories and parts of the Rhine Confederation . The code of criminal procedure contained therein led to the introduction of public prosecutor's offices. The public prosecutors were referred to as general procurator , chief procurator or state procurator. Even after the end of the French era, the French legal system remained in force in many areas on the left bank of the Rhine , including the Prussian Rhine Province . Accordingly, the history of the Rhenish public prosecutor's offices goes back to this time. The old system remained in the rest of Prussia. With the law of January 3, 1849, public prosecutor's offices were created in all of Prussia, including Westphalia, and formed throughout Prussia on April 1, 1849.
