Chamber of States

The Chamber of States (German: Länderkammer) was one of the two legislative chambers of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) from its founding in 1949 until 1952, at which time it was largely sidelined, when the five Länder (states) of East Germany were abolished and replaced with smaller administrative regions. The Chamber of States itself was abolished on 8 December 1958. The other chamber, which continued in existence until German reunification in 1990, was the People's Chamber (Volkskammer).
