Higher Appeal Court Wolfenbüttel
The Higher Appeal Court of Wolfenbüttel was from 1817 the joint Higher Appeal Court of the Duchy of Braunschweig and the principalities of Waldeck-Pyrmont , Lippe and Schaumburg-Lippe with its seat in Wolfenbüttel ; it was dissolved in 1855.
founding
Article 12 of the Federal Act of 1815 required the states to set up courts of appeal as the third and final instance in civil and criminal matters. There should be at least one such court in every state; States with fewer than 300,000 residents should join their relatives or other states in such a court.
After lengthy negotiations between the states involved, the establishment of the Higher Appeal Court in Wolfenbüttel, which was opened on January 2, 1817, was decided. Wolfenbüttel was also the seat of the Braunschweig regional court and had previously also been the seat of the court court .
The Higher Appeal Court was staffed with a President, 5 Higher Appeal Judges and 2 Higher Appeal Court clerks. Of these, Waldeck-Pyrmont and Schaumburg-Lippe each alternately provided an appellate judge and Lippe another; the rest of the staff was named by Braunschweig. The first president was Wilhelm Karl Ferdinand von Schleinitz .
Well-known judges of this court were Friedrich Karl von Strombeck for Lippe, Wilhelm Karl Ferdinand von Schleinitz 1817–1827 and 1831–1837 for Braunschweig, further Gottfried Philipp von Bülow, Johann Friedrich Ludwig Günther, Eduard Trieps .
resolution
With the Braunschweig Courts Constitution Act of 1850, the Duchy of Braunschweig regulated that the Higher Appeal Court in Wolfenbüttel should no longer be responsible for Braunschweig and set the ducal high court as the highest instance. Waldeck also established its own higher court as early as 1850 and dissolved the connection to the higher appeal court. After the Principality of Lippe had also created its own Higher Appeal Commission in 1855, the Wolfenbüttel Higher Appeal Court was overturned in October 1855. The first senate of the ducal higher court was now responsible for Schaumburg-Lippe.
A large part of the library of the Wolfenbüttel Higher Appeal Court is now in the Herzog August Library .
