- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Rinteln Department of Justice existed from 1648 to 1821. It was created in 1648 at the same time as the Hessian administration was established in the administrative district of Schaumburg. It was abolished on 29 June 1821 by the Act on the Transformation of the State Administration (Kurhess Ges. Slg. [Electoral Hesse digest], 1821, p. 39). The successor took over the high court in Rinteln (for relevant files see collection H 21). Its activity was interrupted by the intermission of the Kingdom of Westphalia from 1807 to 1813 (see collection H 20 a). Like the later higher court, the department of justice seems to have been the first instance for the privileged citizens and at the same time the appeal authority. Its area of responsibility was the administrative district of Schaumburg or Rinteln including the Hessian administrative districts of Auburg, Freudenberg and Uchte.
