Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Principality of Calenberg was a dynastic division of the Welf Duchy of Brunswick-L neburg in the Holy Roman Empire from 1494 until 1705, when it was merged with L neburg to form the state of Hanover. When Eric I chose the Principality of Calenberg as his part of the inheritance in 1495, he described it as the land between the River Leine and the Deister. This geographical description, however, was never totally correct. In fact, the Principality extended west of the Leine from Schulenburg as far as Neustadt am R benberge in the north and thus much further north than the foothills of the Deister. To the south-west the territory stretched as far as Hamelin on the Weser, well beyond the Deister. The city of Hanover was largely independent of Welf territorial lordship, even though it was not formally a free imperial city.
