history

In 1637 the county of Oldenburg received the Privilegium de non appellando (limited to a value in dispute of 1,000 guilders ). With the increase in rank to the Duchy of Oldenburg in 1774, this right was confirmed. The highest court was the ducal judicial office.

In the Duchy of Oldenburg, the French court organization was abolished in 1814 and the court organization that was valid before the French era was reintroduced (see Courts in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg ). With the so-called department regulations, a sovereign ordinance of September 15, 1814, the Oldenburg Higher Appeal Court was made the highest court of the Duchy of Oldenburg by Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig with effect from October 1, 1814. It initially had five councils (judges), later the number of judges was increased to seven.

The basis was Article 12, Paragraph 2 of the German Federal Act of 1815: "In the states of such a crowd, where the same courts of third instance already exist, these will, however, be retained in their previous capacity, provided that only the population over which they extend, is not less than 150,000 souls. ” The inclusion of this paragraph in the federal act was an exception in favor of Oldenburg, as Oldenburg was the only state with its own Higher Appeal Court that did not have the number of 300,000“ souls ”, which according to Article 12 Paragraph 1 was fundamentally Were a prerequisite for the formation of a higher court. Oldenburg had about 169,000 inhabitants at that time.

In the beginning it was locally responsible for the area of ​​the Duchy of Oldenburg, later also for the principalities of Birkenfeld and Lübeck . It was named a Grand Ducal Higher Appeal Court in 1830.

With the entry into force of the Reich Justice Laws of 1877 took place in 1879 the introduction of the four-membered judiciary with official , agriculture , regional courts and the Supreme Court as a single last instance. The existing higher appeal courts were converted into higher regional courts. Accordingly, the Oldenburg Higher Appeal Court was replaced by the Oldenburg Higher Regional Court .
