Okresní soud Libáň

partly accessible Košnar S. – Letocha J.: Okresní soud Libáň 1850-1944. Inventář, 1965, 22 s., ev. č. 70. The District Court in Libáň was established due to a new organization of the judiciary in 1850. It ruled in civil proceedings, the land register agenda was transferred to it, and in criminal matters its jurisdiction was limited to less serious crimes. In the years 1855-1868, the political administration was merged with the judiciary into the so-called mixed district office. In 1868, the Libáň District Court became independent again and functioned until 1949, when it was abolished, its jurisdiction being transferred to the District Court in Jičín. The fonds contains documents of the court administration of the Libáň judicial district. Of particular interest are the files from the post-war period, namely files M - Declaration of Dead from 1945-1947, files D - inheritance files concerning the property of the respective Jewish families, files M - Otto Kaufman, Dina Seidlová, Hana Lustigová, Ida Lustigová, Olga Hellerová, Evžen Heller, Marie Hellerová, Jiří Heller, Alena Hellerová and Terezie Hellerová, and files D - the above mentioned families. When searching for a specific inheritance file, it is possible to use the book of auxiliary records - register D from the years 1939-1949.
