Pfälzisches Oberlandesgericht Zweibrücken

The Pfälzisches Oberlandesgericht Zweibrücken is an important court in Rheinland-Pfalz, located in the heart of the Pfalz. It is responsible for jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters, as well as for certain matters of voluntary jurisdiction.

• Jurisdiction: The Pfälzische Oberlandesgericht comprises nine civil senates, two of which also function as family senates. In addition, there are two criminal senates, the first of which is also responsible for fine matters. Another important senate is the Notarsenat[1][2].
• Jurisprudence: It is hierarchically subordinate to the local and regional courts in Frankenthal, Kaiserslautern, Landau and Zweibrücken and responsible for appeals and revisions [4].
• Special Responsibilities: In addition to general jurisdiction, the Pfälzische Oberlandesgericht has special responsibilities in matters of voluntary jurisdiction and the judge service court of the state of Rheinland-Pfalz [4].

The main mission of the Pfälzische Oberlandesgericht is to ensure the rule of law and enforce justice in the Pfalz. The values of the judiciary are the independence of judges, impartiality and the equality of all citizens before the law.

Specific sustainability goals or initiatives are not directly available, but the judiciary in Germany is generally geared towards promoting justice and transparency. This includes digital transformation and improving processes to increase the efficiency and accessibility of judicial services.

The Pfälzische Oberlandesgericht Zweibrücken has a long history dating back to 1946. It was moved to its current location in 1965 after the reconstruction of Zweibrücken Castle [4]. Today it serves as the central court for the Pfalz region, with a catchment area of approximately 1.5 million people [4].
