Higher Regional Court of Leitmeritz
The Leitmeritz Higher Regional Court was a German higher regional court with its seat in Leitmeritz (today the Czech Republic , in the relevant period German Empire ) from 1939 to 1944.
prehistory
In the crown land of Bohemia there was a district court Litomerice for the judicial district Litomerice until 1918 . This was the regional court of Bohemian Leipa and this in turn the higher regional court for Bohemia in Prague . For the entire judicial organization, see the list of judicial districts in Bohemia .
After the First World War , Bohemia and Moravia were separated from Austria without considering the language border and assigned to the newly founded Czechoslovakia . Accordingly, the existing courts were abolished and Czechoslovak courts established. The structure of district and district courts was largely retained. As a result of the Munich Agreement , the Sudetenland, with its predominantly German-speaking population, was ceded to the German Empire and incorporated into the Reichsgau Sudetenland .
The division took no account of the existing boundaries of the districts of the existing Czechoslovak courts. Therefore the following assignment was made:
| Places from this circle | were these district courts | or district courts assigned |
|---|---|---|
| Brno as far as it borders on the district of the Znojmo Regional Court | Lundenburg | Znojmo |
| Brno, otherwise | Moravian Trübau | Troppau |

Engerau near Preßburg was incorporated into the neighboring Austrian court.
The German judicial organization has now been introduced in these areas. The district courts were converted into local courts, the district courts into regional courts. A higher regional court chamber was set up at the regional court in Reichenberg as a higher regional court.
