Kammermohr

[1] People of black skin colour from the Orient, Africa and America had often been taken to Europe as valets during the time of colonialism.

The splendidly decorated Kammermohr, often in livery, served a ruler, church dignitaries or wealthy merchants as an exotic object of prestige and as a status symbol, showcasing their wealth and luxury lifestyle.

'Kammer' is the German word for chamber, in particular the private rooms of a wealthy person.

'Mohr' is ultimately derived from the name for the Moors, a historic people in the western Mediterranean who originated from northern Africa during the Middle Ages.

Other similarly derived words include Blackamoor, Matamoros, Maure, Mohr im Hemd, Moresca, Moresche, Moresque, Moreška, Morianbron, Morisco, Moros y cristianos, and Morris dance.
