Patrimonial jurisdiction (Baden)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Baden and other parts of Germany at that time, patrimonial jurisdiction refers to the courts of the noble landlords , who each had their own jurisdiction. The jurisdiction was tied to the possession of a property (patrimonium).

Patrimonial courts, however, only included the lower jurisdiction , i.e. above all property, family, inheritance and property rights and in some cases also lower criminal law (e.g. insults, scuffles).

On May 14, 1813, Baden had abolished the land and civil jurisdiction, but in 1823 had to declare its readiness to return the jurisdiction of the first and second instance due to the federal act . Specifically, the judicial jurisdiction remained limited to the right to propose the appointment of staff from among the candidates examined and the income associated with the jurisdiction. The patrimonial jurisdiction in Baden was finally repealed on September 8, 1849.
