Mention and derivation

1371: datz dem Cæmerlein, 16th century: Camerlein, Chamerl, derived from "Kammer".

On 1 January 1975, the village of Kammerl was "integrated" into the village of Kammer by means of a municipal council decision.

Hans Dickinger writes 1986:
"Kammer" is something different than Kammerl. The people of Kammer belonged to the Kammer Castle. In Kammerl, on the other hand, there lived fishermen, sailors, weavers, and, above all, woodcutters. Kammerl is a large village. The houses are located away from the lake. In Kammer, everything was concentrated around the castle.[1].
