history
In the German Empire , in the Weimar Republic and in the Third Reich until 1943, the Marienwerder Higher Regional Court existed for West Prussia (first province, then administrative region West Prussia and border mark Posen-West Prussia ). As a result of the Peace Treaty of Versailles , Danzig was spun off from the Imperial Association as the Free City of Danzig . Most of the surrounding area was assigned to Poland . This reorganization did not take into account existing district boundaries or the respective judicial districts. In the Free City of Danzig, the Danzig Supreme Court was created as the Supreme Court.
After the attack on Poland in 1939, the statehood of the Free City of Danzig ended in violation of international law . The Danzig Higher Court was transformed into the Danzig Higher Regional Court.
