After the Kingdom of Hanover was annexed by the King of Prussia in 1866, the royal Hanoverian domain of Calenberg also became the property of the Prussian state. Julius von Bandel became the Prussian domain tenant by way of a long-term lease arrangement. His wife Aline, née Liège (1855–1933) owned the Springe estate (118ha).

On December 21, 1898, Julius von Bandel was raised to the Prussian nobility. He died shortly afterwards on January 26, 1899 in Calenberg.

After his death, his eldest son, Major a. D. Erich von Bandel (1880–1966), Gut Dröbel. He was expropriated in 1945 without compensation.

Julius von Bandel was followed by his second oldest son, Rittmeister a. D. Hans von Bandel (1882–1963). The long lease regulation for Calenberg was adjusted after the First World War and the end of the monarchy in Germany. The previous domain with its lands and buildings became the property of Duke Ernst August von Braunschweig and Lüneburg (1887–1953), the last reigning ruling duke in the duchy of the same name, or the House of Hanover, as part of the legally regulated prince compensation . As its leaseholder, Hans von Bandel managed the so-called Hausgut Calenberg, only to hand it over in 1956 to the then head of the House of Hanover, Prince Ernst August (1914–1987).

With Hans von Bandel's only son, Rittmeister Hans-Henning von Bandel (1917–1944), the last male bearer of the family's name fell during World War II. His sister Sigrid (Mädi) von Zitzewitz , née von Bandel (1920–1976) lost her husband Friedrich Karl von Zitzewitz (1924–1966) in the crash of Lufthansa flight 005 in Bremen. The von Zitzewitzes had no children.

The von Bandel family lived in Calenberg from 1875 to 1956 in the domain administrator's house, which had been built there during Prussian times.

Julius and Hans von Bandel and their wives and the von Zitzewitz couple are buried in the New Cemetery in Jeinsen .

An affinity with the Prussian Bandel family, also ennobled in 1912, which goes back to the sculptor Ernst von Bandel (1800–1876), has not yet been proven. There is also no coats of arms between the two noble Bandel families.
