Principality of Göttingen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Principality of Göttingen was a subdivision of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg in the Holy Roman Empire with Göttingen as its capital. It was split off from the Principality of Brunswick in 1279 in the course of an estate division among members of the House of Welf. In 1463, it fell to the Principality of Calenberg, with which it stayed united until the end of the Duchy.
