The first handling from 1855 to 1897 also includes Inheritance, Guardianship and Trusteeship 1855-1897 which are considered as a rich resource for the history of Jews. The second handling (1891) 1898-1923 (1930) is divided into the Civil District Court for Brno - město (City) and the District Court for Brno - okolí (Surroundings). Both sections contain files of call № A - Inheritance from 1898 to 1923. The land register agenda includes Excerpts from land registers from 1851 to 1855; Collections of deeds for land registry for the judicial district of Brno - město (City) and for the judicial district of Brno - okolí (Surroundings) 1855-1871. The land register agenda contains important information of the city development and the emancipation of Jews.
- Archival history:
- The entire first handling was transferred to what was then the Moravian Provincial Archives in 1938. During the Nazi Occupation, the files were put together with four instances of handling of previously independent district courts Brno - vnitřní město (Inner City), Brno - horní předměstí (Upper Suburb) and Brno - dolní předměstí (Lower Suburb) from 1850 to 1855, originally as one whole set. Documents from delegated municipal district civil courts of Brno - město (City) and Brno - okolí (Surroundings) were also added to them. In 1961, these documents were arranged at the Brno Municipal Archives and divided up again into individual handling instances. Since 1965, some of the files of the District Civil Court for Brno - okolí (Surroundings) have been stored in State District Archives Brno - venkov in Rajhrad. Today the fonds is stored at the Moravian Provincial Archives in Brno.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The delegated municipal district civil court in Brno was established in 1855 and combined the civil agenda from the three district courts that had existed so far (Brno - vnitřní město (Inner City), Brno - horní předměstí (Upper Suburb) and Brno - dolní předměstí (Lower Suburb)). In 1892, the Civil District Court in Brno was divided into two courts: for Brno - město and for Brno - okolí. In 1898, the name was simplified to the District Civil Court for Brno - okolí (Surroundings), and in 1953 it was renamed to the People's Civil Court in Brno. In 1959, the people’s district court was further divided into Brno - venkov (Surroundigns) and Brno - město (City), and subsequently in 1961 these courts were renamed as district courts.
