history

The history of the Uetterodt court began in 1442 with the acquisition of the Scharfenburg near Thal on the north-western edge of the Thuringian Forest by the Lords of Uetterodt . After the Scharfenburg was badly damaged in the Saxon fratricidal war in 1446, an office building was built in Thal after 1455 in the valley floor of the Erbbstrom. With this the formation of the castle office Scharfenburg was connected. From 1452/58 the following places belonged to this: Thal, Deubach, Schwarzhausen, Schmerbach, Sättelstädt and a part of Schönau. Furthermore, the Weißenborn monastery belonged to the jurisdiction until its dissolution in 1536.

The lords of Uetterodt received the new headquarters in Thal in 1478 from Duke Wilhelm of Saxony as a fief . It remained in the family until 1837. The family divided into two lines in the 16th century, the older line kept the headquarters in Thal. The younger line of Lupnitz had possessions in Wenigenlupnitz and Melborn (Duchy of Saxony-Eisenach ). Later two lines to Schwarzhausen and Sättelstädt were established. In 1610, the Lords of Uetterodt were given their own administrative district in the town of Ruhla, which has since been called "Ruhla Uetterodtschen Ort".

The suzerainty over the Uetterodt court had been with the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha since 1640, with the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg from 1672 and with the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg and Gotha from 1826 . The rule of the Uetterodtschen court was sold to the Duke of Saxe-Gotha in 1837. With the change of ownership, the Uetterodtsche patrimonial court in Thal was converted into the ducal Saxon "judicial office Thal", which was expanded in 1838 to include the Tenneberg portion of Ruhla and in 1839 to include other former patrimonial courts and Tenneberg offices.

The Duchy of Saxony-Coburg and Gotha was divided into independent cities and district offices in 1858. The administration of the Thal court office was assigned to the Waltershausen district office. The judicial authority was continued under the name “Justizamt Thal” as a court instance and in 1869 it was expanded to include the district of the repealed Judicial Office Nazza. In 1879 this function was taken over by the Thal District Court .
