history
In 1871 the Nuremberg Court of Appeal was set up in the Kingdom of Bavaria . The appeals courts ruled in senates with five members each. In 1873 the appellate courts for Upper Palatinate and Middle Franconia were combined in Nuremberg. The Amberg appellate court was thus dissolved and its tasks assigned to the one in Nuremberg. In 1879, the Nuremberg Court of Appeal was converted into a higher regional court when the German Courts Constitution Act came into force.
