- Administrative/biographical history:
- The domanial chamber developed from the princely royal chamber formed in the course of the 17th century by a committee of the privy council, which became independent. In 1705, the two chambers of the principalities of Calenberg and Lüneburg were united into the princely chamber. From 1720, their jurisdiction also extended to the duchy of Bremen and Verden.
