- "An Amtsgericht in Germany is an official court. These courts form the lowest level of the so-called ´ordinary jurisdiction´ of the German judiciary (German Ordentliche Gerichtsbarkeit), which is responsible for most criminal and civil judicial matters. The German Amtsgericht may be compared to the magistrates´ courts in England and Wales. Its name derives from the Amt as a denomination for an administrative and court district in many of the territories of the Holy Roman Empire.
The main areas of an Amtsgericht´s jurisdiction are:
court of first instance for civil case where the subject of litigation is worth 5,000 euros or less, and for litigation involving rental agreements, marriages, alimony and child custody.court of first instance for criminal cases where a fine or a prison term of no more than four years can be imposed.administration of several public register such as the companies´, the associations´, the cooperatives´ and the land ownership register.There are 640 Amtsgerichte in Germany, whose jurisdictional area typically comprises a small number of towns or municipalities. The next higher level of ordinary jurisdiction is called the Landgericht. The term Amtsgericht may also refer to the building where the proceedings take place." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.09.2019)
