- Archival history:
- In addition to the records of the district courts (since 1852), the Rep 950 record group also includes all (non-municipal) sub-authorities which were sub-courts in the same area before the separation of the judiciary and the administration. However, the records of the lower courts and the courts of peace (Rep 955), the mortgage registers (Rep 956 II), the notary records (Rep 958) and the civil status records (Rep 491) were established as separate holdings.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The district court of Osnabrück originates with the prince-bishop of Osnabrück Obergogericht (higher instance of the inferior court of law) and the city court in the same place. In 1970, it lost parts of the new community of Georgsmarienhütte to the district court of Bad Iburg. In the course of territorial reform in 1973/74, the jurisdictional area was enlarged to cover the dissolved district courts of Bad Essen and Melle. It also manages the commercial register for the area of the district court of Bersenbrück. Since 2004, it has been an administrative court independent of the district court.
