History

Haigerloch Castle

The more famous younger Franconian branch of the Hohenzollern family became Burgraves of Nuremberg, Margraves of Brandenburg, Kings of Prussia, and finally Emperors of Germany. Unlike their northern relatives, the Swabians remained Catholic.

The county of Hohenzollern-Haigerloch was created in 1576, when Karl I of Hohenzollern died and his lands were divided between his three sons:

All three territories were located in south-western Germany and were fiefs of the Holy Roman Empire. The area is now part of the German Land of Baden-Württemberg. Hechingen, Sigmaringen, and Haigerloch were the capitals of the three states.

Christoph, Count 1575–1592 (1552-1592), third surviving son of Karl I of Hohenzollern
- Johann Christoph, Count 1592–1620 (1586-1620)
- Template:Tree list/final branch Karl, Count 1620–1634 (1588-1634)

Per treaty, at the extinction of the line, the county reverted to the principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.

Franz Anton, Count 1681–1702 (1657-1702), second surviving son of Meinrad I, Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen
- Ferdinand Leopold, Count 1702–1750 (1692-1750)
- Template:Tree list/final branch Franz Christoph Anton, Count 1750–1767 (1699-1767)

With the death of the last count, the county was permanently incorporated into the principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.
