Sigrid Schank becomes the new deputy director in Pirmasens!

On July 17, 2025, an important personnel decision took place at the Pirmasens District Court: Sigrid Schank was appointed deputy director. She succeeds Christian Orth, who previously held the position and the position has been vacant since January 1, 2025. Schank brings with her valuable experience as she has been working at the Pirmasens District Court since 1995 and continues to take on judicial duties in family matters. She began her legal career after studying in Saarbrücken, followed by a traineeship at the Palatinate Higher Regional Court of Zweibrücken in 1987. Since her appointment as a judge for life in 1996, Schank has gone through numerous positions in the Rhineland-Palatinate judiciary, including the public prosecutor's office in Kaiserslautern and the Zweibrücken Regional Court, before finally coming to the Pirmasens District Court, where she now works in a responsible position. Rhine Palatinate reports about this appointment and highlights Schank's long-standing association with the judiciary.

Particular attention is now being paid to the Pirmasen district court, which could receive new impetus under Schank's responsibility. Schank, who knows how to master challenging legal issues, will certainly show a good hand in her new position. While she supports the direct management of the district court, she remains involved in her previous judicial activities, which not only benefits her career, but also the judiciary in Pirmasens.

Insights into Schank's career

The judiciary in Rhineland-Palatinate has produced some remarkable people in recent years. Andrea Epperlein, a 40-year-old judge at the Pirmasen district court, is another interesting case. After studying law in Dresden, she joined the judicial service of Rhineland-Palatinate in 2009. She is now returning to Pirmasens following her previous positions at the Landau Regional Court, where she gained numerous experiences. The website of the Zweibrücken Higher Regional Court reports about the fact that Epperlein can now use her skills as the permanent representative of the director at the Pirmasens District Court, which should give the court a new dynamic.

Another name that has become prominent is Dr. Matthias Naumann, who, like Schank and Epperlein, works in the judicial service of Rhineland-Palatinate. Born in the Donnersberg district, he now lives in Hesse and has made a name for himself through constant development in the judiciary. Naumann is now taking on tasks in the Criminal and Fines Senate of the Higher Regional Court. His experiences from various positions will continue to be important for the Rhineland-Palatinate justice system in the future.

Overall, the development surrounding Sigrid Schank and her colleagues shows that the Pirmasen district court is staffed with experienced and motivated judges who are ready to give the judiciary a new face and at the same time take care of the wishes and needs of the population. The coming months promise exciting insights into the work of the judiciary and its development. It is certainly reassuring for the citizens of Pirmasens to know that experienced professionals like Sigrid Schank and Andrea Epperlein will take care of their legal concerns.
