List of German dishes in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia

The list of German courts in the so-called Reich Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia resulted from the introduction of German jurisdiction in the area of ​​the German " Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia " on April 14, 1939 and its amendments on July 14, 1939 ( RGBl . IS 1262) and of March 13, 1941 (RGBl. IS 130). The courts ruled according to the applicable German legal provisions with certain restrictions and were staffed with German lawyers. All German nationals were subject to these courts. Non-German persons were also subject to these courts if German legal provisions were violated or German citizens were affected by the respective proceedings. In addition to the German courts, German public prosecutor's offices were set up with German lawyers.

All German courts in the area now called the Protectorate were subordinate to the German Higher Regional Court in Prague . The local courts were in turn part of the German regional courts in Prague and Brno and their German public prosecutor's offices.

The German courts in the Sudetenland were not affected by this assumption. In addition, there was a special jurisdiction for the Theresienstadt concentration camp in the area of ​​the German "Protectorate" with specially established German special courts such as the Prague Special Court and the Brno Special Court .
