Kamba or Chamba is a submerged place on the right bank of the Rhine opposite Oppenheim in the Leeheim district of the city of Riedstadt in the Hessian Ried . The place, which was probably a royal court , was in the immediate vicinity of the Rhine, to the west of today's chamber courts. He is in 865, when King Louis the German to the monastery Lorsch gave real estate there, certified as a "villa Camben", 1024 as "Kamba", and around 1195 as "curia in Chamben".

Around 1190 the farm was still owned by the Lorsch Monastery, which at that time gave it to Werner II von Bolanden as a fief . After that there are apparently only documentary mentions in modern times. In 1784 a Freiherr von Schrautenbach owned the Kammerhof, and in 1826 Count von Schlitz called von Görtz . In 1906 the Leeheim community bought the Kammerhof and divided it up.

King's Choice 1024

In Kamba the Salier Konrad II was elected on September 4, 1024 as king of the East Franconian Empire . However, the 175-meter-high Königstuhl in the southern part of the district of Lörzweiler, a few kilometers northwest, is also referred to as the place where the election took place.
