Example Kingdom of Hanover

In the Kingdom of Hanover , the office of the chief hunter was carried out in the form of a court department. The department included, in particular, the supervision of the royal hunting grounds and hunting castles. The chief hunter directed all the hunts of the king and his family members whenever and wherever they wished. He oversaw the maintenance of the hunting grounds and all associated facilities as well as all related personnel matters. For example, he regularly ensured a high number of animals, especially by driving in game and feeding it to enable largely “lucrative hunting”.

The duties of the Hanoverian chief hunter included the supervision of the hunting arsenal in Linden and the zoo near Kirchrode , the hunting grounds in Göhrde and the hunting castles in Rotenkirchen and the hunting lodge in the Saupark near Springe . The service apartments, which are usually located near the hunting castles, in the auxiliary buildings for the hunting staff, were also subject to the supervision of the chief hunter.

The disciplinary authority of the Hanoverian chief hunter was similar to that of the lord of the chamberlain and the head stable master .
