    The local picture

    Baden

    Baden, the spa town on the river Limmat, is the main town of the district of the same name and an important business location with many industrial and service companies. For Baden, Wettingen, Spreitenbach and the district’s other municipalities, the Bezirksgericht Baden (district court) is the first-instance court for both civil and criminal cases. Employment disputes go to the Arbeitsgericht Baden, and tenancy disputes start at the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Baden.

    In the Limmat valley the district borders the canton of Zurich, where many residents work. In a dispute with a Zurich employer, a Zurich court may therefore also have jurisdiction; a lawyer checks where the claim belongs before you bring it. Proceedings before the canton’s courts are conducted in German; each profile shows which other languages a practitioner advises in, such as English or French. Every listing on ora. is verified.

      Tenancy

      Tenancy: the district conciliation board

      In Aargau, each district has its own conciliation board for tenancy and leases. A dispute over rent, defects or a notice to quit starts before the board of the district where the flat or premises are located – in Baden, for example, the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Baden. It looks for an agreement; if none is reached, it issues an authorisation to go to court. A lawyer helps with the application and the deadlines, which are often short.

    2. Work

      Employment: the employment court at the district court

      Each Aargau district court has its own employment court, which decides disputes between employers and employees: contested dismissals, unpaid wages, overtime, references. The competent court is generally the one where the defendant is based or where the work is done. Because many Aargau residents work in Zurich or Basel, a lawyer first checks jurisdiction and the deadlines.

    3. Family

      Family: the district court where you live

      Separation, divorce, custody and maintenance go first to the district court. Each district has its own: Aarau, Baden, Bremgarten, Brugg, Kulm, Laufenburg, Lenzburg, Muri, Rheinfelden, Zofingen and Zurzach. Jurisdiction generally follows the residence of one of the parties. A family lawyer reviews your options and the prospects of an agreement with you before any proceedings begin.

    4. Criminal

      Criminal law: prosecutor and district court

      Criminal investigations are led by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Aargau (public prosecutor), which often closes simple cases with a penalty order. If charges are brought, the district court where the offence was committed tries the case. The deadline for objecting to a penalty order is short, so get advice without delay, whether you are accused or reporting an offence as a victim.

    5. Legal aid

      Legal aid: the URP

      If you cannot pay for proceedings and your case is not without prospects, you can apply in Aargau for Legal aid (URP). The application goes to the court competent for the case, which at first instance is usually the district court. It can cover court costs and the appointment of a lawyer. A practitioner can tell you whether your situation qualifies.

    Frequently asked questions

    Your questions in Baden

    Local answers, checked against official sources. A practitioner can look at your situation in detail.

    See all questions
    Do Wettingen and Spreitenbach fall under the same court as Baden?

    Yes. Wettingen, Spreitenbach, Ennetbaden, Obersiggenthal and the other municipalities of the Baden district belong to the Bezirksgericht Baden and the Arbeitsgericht Baden. Tenancy conciliation is the same for all of them: the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Baden. If you live in Brugg or Bremgarten, by contrast, you have a different district court.

    I have been dismissed – who can help in Baden?

    An employment lawyer checks whether the dismissal was abusive or badly timed and which claims are still open. If it goes to court, the Arbeitsgericht Baden (employment court) decides for the district. If you work in another canton, a court there may also have jurisdiction. You can book the first meeting on ora., at a law firm or by video.

    My tenancy in Baden has been terminated – what now?

    You can challenge the notice at the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Baden (tenancy conciliation board) or ask for the tenancy to be extended. The deadline is short and runs from the day you receive the notice. A tenancy lawyer checks whether the notice is formally valid and not abusive, and files the application in time.

    Who handles criminal matters in Baden?

    Investigations are led by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Aargau (public prosecutor), which often closes simple cases with a penalty order. If charges are brought, the Bezirksgericht Baden (district court) tries the case at first instance. If you have received a summons or a penalty order, get advice quickly: the deadline for an objection is short, and talking to a lawyer before your first interview is worthwhile.

    How do I pay for a consultation in Baden through ora.?

    You pay when you book on ora.; the lawyer’s fee and the service fee appear as two separate lines. You pay the practitioner directly. If you cannot afford proceedings, look into legal aid first: in Aargau, the application for legal aid (URP) is made to the court that is competent for your case.
