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:<br>
"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.<Ref>Source Hans Dickinger: The street names in Schörfling, 1986</ref>.
