- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Imperial Chamber Court was founded in 1495 as the supreme imperial court and was responsible for lawsuits between subjects directly subordinate to the Reich (Reichsunmittelbare) or for these and for appointments of German high courts, as far as there were no higher regional court in the territories, as was the case in the Electorates. From 1527 (with several interruptions) it had its seat in Speyer and from 1689 in Wetzlar. It ceased to exist in 1806 with the abdication of the crown of the Holy Roman Empire by Emperor Franz II.
