Amtsgericht (District Court) of Litoměřice

The archival fonds comprises documents resulting from the activities of the court operating in the Litoměřice judicial district in the years 1938-1945. The courts documents contain interesting material on Jewish matters, particularly as regards the property matters of persons of Jewish origin. In section VIII – commercial register files, there are the files of firms and companies that had Jewish owners and on forced administration for Jewish businesses; in the collection of deeds for the land books (unarranged part of the fonds) there are transfers for the property of originally Jewish owners (both private and legal persons).

The files are stored by original court file scheme in eight main groups: I. personnel files, II. general and auxiliary files, III. fonds sheets, IV. court agenda, V. labour disputes, VI. health court, VII. inheritance court, and VIII. files for commercial register.
