Judge legend Mitterhöfer says goodbye to exciting life!

The Burgenland Karl Mitterhöfer, who is known as the top judge of the Eisenstadt Regional Court for numerous concise judgments and top -class procedures, is now retired. After an impressive 33-year service in the judiciary, Mitterhöfer will be entering the regional court for the last time as President on December 31. His career spanned significant cases, including scandals such as the wine scandal and the brutal pipe bomb tatto in Oberwart, which was never spared him as a judge. In an interview with MeinDrecht he said about the challenges that are connected with the work at crime scenes. He describes his work as a "right decision" in his life, despite the sometimes dark side effects.

An era comes to an end

Mitterhöfer, who comes from a family of teachers and completed his training in Vienna, began his career in 1988 as a judge in the federal capital. After a change to district courts, he finally headed all courts of the Burgenland from 2010 and was president of the Eisenstadt State Court. As a court council, he was active to investigate the judge's system at schools and in lectures. His successor, probably the current deputy Bernhard Kolonovits, is already facing major challenges, including the significant process for Commerzialbank Mattersburg, such as burgenland.orf reported.

With a post -sentence to change the behavior of the behavior, the outgoing judge noticed: "In the past, the accused were more respectful to the court. Now they act differently!" Mitterhöfer plans to pursue his hobbies in retirement, which include traveling and hiking. He looks back at a time full of challenges and emphasizes that times will not make it easier in the future.
