[1] The Deutsche Jägerschaft was a statutory corporation with mandatory membership for all who possessed a hunting license.

The membership was in hunting matters subordinate to the jurisdiction of the Deutsche Jägerschaft through its system of honorary courts.

Deutsche Jägerschaft was led by Hermann Göring, as Reichsjägermeister, and was governed by the Führerprinciple.

Elected officials did not exist; all functionaries were appointed by their superiors in the internal chain of command.
