High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Principality of Luneburg (later also referred to as Celle) was a territorial division of the Duchy of Brunswick-Luneburg within of the Holy Roman Empire, immediately subordinate to the emperor. It existed from 1269 until 1705 and its territory lay within the modern-day state of Lower Saxony in Germany. The Principality was named after its first capital, Luneburg (Lunenburg), which was ruled jointly by all Brunswick-Luneburg lines until 1637. From 1378, the seat of the Principality was in Celle. It lost its independence in 1705 when it was annexed by the Electorate of Brunswick-Luneburg, but retained its vote in the Reichstag as Brunswick-Celle. When the Principality of Luneburg emerged as a result of the division of Brunswick-Luneburg in 1269, the domain of the Luneburg princes consisted of a large number of territorial rights in the region of Luneburg, but it could not be described as a unified state because many rights were owned by other vassals of the imperial crown.
