- This collection comprises judicial records and registers of the Bückeburg district, including the Arensburg administrative district. They cover various matters of inheritance, estate regulations, purchase and sale of land and houses. Jews are included in these documents.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The administrative districts were - in addition to the city courts - the lowest administrative and judicial authorities in Schaumburg-Lippe in the early modern period. Originally there were four Schaumburg-Lippe administrative districts which were later combined into the administrative districts of Bückeburg-Arensburg and Stadthagen-Hagenburg. In addition to their administrative duties, they exercised all disputed and non-contentious jurisdiction. The files grouped together under the name "Justizamt" thus form part of the administrative functions of the administrative districts. At the end of 1877, the previous administrative districts were abolished in the course of judicial reform. The office of justice was replaced by the district court of Bückeburg.
