Moers, Gerichte, Akten (AA 0079) (DFG-gefördert)
Das Stadtgericht Moers war als "Hauptgericht" zugleich Gericht 2. Instanz für die nachstehenden Untergerichte. Im 18. Jahrhundert war es anstelle der nicht mehr existenten Gerichte Baerl, Homberg und Neukirchen für die Gemeinden Honnschaft Moers, Kapellen, Neukirchen, Vluyn, Essenberg, Homberg, Baerl, Eversael und Repelen auch in 1. Instanz zuständig (s. Acta Borussica, Behördenorganisation VI 2, S. 886). Auf Vorschlag des Großkanzlers von Cocceji wurde das Hauptgericht (Justizkollegium) 1749 mit der Regierung in Moers kombiniert und neu eingerichtet (s. Acta Borussica, Behördenorganisation VIII, S. 494 ff., 514 f. und XIII, S. 557 ff.).

Additional information
BZK no.
The Bundeszentralkartei (BZK) is the central register of the federal government and federal states for completed compensation proceedings. When a claim is entered into the BZK, a number is assigned for unique identification. This BZK number refers to a compensation claim, not to a person. If a person has made several claims (e.g. for themselves and for relatives), each claim generally has its own BZK number. Often, the file number of the respective compensation authority is used as the BZK number.
This number is important for making an inquiry to the relevant archive.

Role in the proceeding
‘Verfolgt’ refers to a person or organization that was persecuted under National Socialism. They could file a claim for compensation or restitution as part of the Wiedergutmachung policy. If the application was submitted by another person or organization than the persecutee (for example, their son or daughter), this other person or organization is designated as ‘antragstellend’ and their relationship to the persecutee is noted, if known. In the sources, the persecutee is sometimes referred to as ‘Geschädigter’ (aggrieved party) and the applicant as ‘Anspruchsberechtigter’(claimant).
