'''Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen''' ({{langx|de|Fürstentum Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen}}) was a [[principality]] in southwestern [[Germany]]. Its rulers belonged to the junior [[House of Hohenzollern#Swabian branch|Swabian branch]] of the [[House of Hohenzollern]]. The Swabian Hohenzollerns were elevated to princes in 1623. The small sovereign state with the capital city of [[Sigmaringen]] was [[Annexation|annexed]] to the [[Kingdom of Prussia]] in 1850 following the abdication of its sovereign in the wake of the [[revolutions of 1848]], then became part of the newly created [[Province of Hohenzollern]].

==History==
The junior [[Swabia|Swabian]] branch is less well known to history than the senior [[Burgraviate of Nuremberg#List of burgraves|Franconian line]], the latter of which became [[Burgraviate of Nuremberg|Burgraves of Nuremberg]] and later ruled [[Margraviate of Brandenburg|Brandenburg]] and [[Prussia]], and the [[German Empire]].

The County of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was created in 1576, upon the partition of the [[House of Hohenzollern#County of Zollern|County of Hohenzollern]], a [[fief]] of the [[Holy Roman Empire]]. When the last count of Hohenzollern, [[Karl I, Count of Hohenzollern|Karl I]] (1512–1579) died, the territory was divided among his three sons:
* [[Eitel Friedrich IV, Count of Hohenzollern|Eitel Friedrich IV of Hohenzollern-Hechingen]] (1545–1605)
* [[Charles II, Count of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen|Charles II of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen]] (1547–1606)
* [[Christoph, Count of Hohenzollern-Haigerloch|Christoph of Hohenzollern-Haigerloch]] (1552–1592)

[[File:Sigmaringen Schloss BW 2015-04-28 17-37-14.jpg|thumb|[[Sigmaringen Castle]]]]
The princes of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen ruled over a small principality in south-western Germany, with a seat at [[Sigmaringen Castle]]. Unlike the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg-Prussia, the Hohenzollerns of Sigmaringen remained [[Roman Catholic]], along with their cousins of [[Hohenzollern-Hechingen]] (the senior line of the Swabian branch of the House of Hohenzollern) and [[Hohenzollern-Haigerloch]].

The principality became a sovereign state in 1815 after the abolition of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 and an independent realm following the [[Napoleonic Wars]] in 1815. Its ruler, Charles, was deposed in the [[revolutions of 1848]]. His son, Karl Anton, succeeded him, and turned to Prussia for aid. Prussian troops arrived in August 1849, and in a treaty signed in December Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was annexed by Prussia, effective in March 1850. The annexation of their state did not, however, mean the end of the importance of the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.

The last prince, [[Karl Anton, Prince of Hohenzollern (died 1885)|Karl Anton]], served as [[Minister President of Prussia]] from 1858 to 1861. Karl Anton's second son, [[Carol I of Romania|Karl Eitel of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen]] became prince (1866–1881) and then [[Kingdom of Romania|King of Romania]], under the name Carol (reigned 1881–1914). The house remained on the throne until the end of the Romanian monarchy in 1947. The last King of Romania, [[Michael I of Romania|Michael]], died on 5 December 2017.

Because the eldest Hechingen line of the Hohenzollerns became extinct in 1869 with the death of [[Constantine, Prince of Hohenzollern-Hechingen]], the head of the Sigmaringen branch, Karl Anton, dropped his line's suffix and took the title of Prince (''Fürst'') of (all) Hohenzollern.

French opposition to the candidacy of Carol's elder brother Prince [[Leopold, Prince of Hohenzollern|Leopold]] for the throne of Spain triggered the [[Franco-Prussian War]] (1870–1871), which led to the founding of the [[German Empire]] in January 1871.

==Territories, titles and styles==

===Southern Germany===
[[File:Karte-Hohenzollern.png|thumb|Hohenzollern region, Württemberg, Germany]]

====Jurisdiction====
The head of the Swabian branch of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen ruled over the following territories:
* [[House of Hohenzollern#County of Zollern|County of Hohenzollern]] (1061)
* [[Burgraviate of Nuremberg]] (1192)
* County of [[Veringenstadt|Veringen]] (1535)
* Lordship of [[Haigerloch]] (1634)
* Lordship of Wehrstein (1634)
* [[Land van den Bergh|County of Bergh]] (1781)

From 1061 until 1806 five of these fiefs (not including Nuremberg) constituted an [[Imperial immediacy|immediate]] territory of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] under the counts of Zollern, [[vassal]]s of the [[Holy Roman Emperor]].

From 1806 until 1813 the Hohenzollern lands were a [[realm]] of the [[Confederation of the Rhine]], a short-lived state set up by [[Napoleon I Bonaparte]]. From 1815 until 1849 the principality was a [[sovereign country]] and a member of the [[German Confederation]]. In 1849 it lost its independence, and was incorporated into the [[Kingdom of Prussia]] as the [[Province of Hohenzollern]].

[[File:Graf von dem Bergh, Fotografie Fürst Karl Friedrich von Hohenzollern.jpg|thumb|[[Karl Friedrich, Prince of Hohenzollern]], head of the Swabian branch of the House of Hohenzollern]]
The German Confederation was succeeded in 1866 by the [[North German Confederation]], which itself was succeeded by the [[German Empire]] in 1871. In 1918, the Kingdom of Prussia became the [[Free State of Prussia]], and the German Empire was replaced by the [[Weimar Republic]]. In 1933 the republic was replaced by the [[Nazi Germany|Third Reich]]. After the defeat of the Nazis the province of Hohenzollern was merged with other territories into the state of [[Württemberg-Hohenzollern]]. This state was part of the [[Allied-occupied Germany|Allied Occupation Zones in Germany]] until 1952. In that year, the state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern was merged into [[Baden-Württemberg]], a state of the [[West Germany|Federal Republic of Germany]].

[[Karl Friedrich, Prince of Hohenzollern]], is the head of the princely Swabian line.

====Titles====
The '''head of the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen''' is the historical heir to the titles of:
* [[Prince]] (''[[Fürst]]'') of Hohenzollern
* [[Burgrave]] (''Burggraf'') of Nuremberg
* [[Imperial Count]] (''Reichsgraf'') of Hohenzollern
* Count (''Graf'') of Sigmaringen
* Count (''Graf'') of Veringen
* Count (''Graf'') of [[Land van den Bergh|Bergh]]
* [[Lord]] (''Herr'') of Haigerloch
* Lord (''Herr'') of Wehrstein

====Styles====
The historical titulature of rulers of the House of Hohenzollern was, in the German original: {{lang|de|Seine Durchlaucht (S.D.) {{lang|en|[name]|italic=no}} von Gottes Gnaden, Fürst von Hohenzollern, Burggraf von Nürnberg, Graf zu Sigmaringen, Veringen und Berg, Herr zu Haigerloch und Wehrstein}}.

The English translation is: ''His Serene Highness (HSH) ''[name]'' [[by the Grace of God]], Prince of Hohenzollern, Burgrave of Nuremberg, Count of Sigmaringen, Veringen and Berg, Lord of Haigerloch and Wehrstein''.

[[File:Romania territory during 20th century.gif|thumb|Territorial evolution of Romania]]

The modern state of [[Romania]] was formed by union of the principalities of [[Moldavia]] and [[Wallachia]] in 1859, under the [[Domnitor|prince domnitor]] [[Alexandru Ioan Cuza]]. He was replaced by Karl Eitel of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen in 1866, who ascended the throne as [[Carol I of Romania|Carol I, Prince of Romania]].

During the [[Russo-Turkish War (1877–78)]], Romania, which was a functionally independent vassal of the [[Ottoman Empire]], proclaimed its full independence. After the commander of the Russian armies had requested Romania's help, Carol accepted to enter the war with the condition of being appointed as commander of the armies that were [[Siege of Plevna|besieging Plevna]]. After the end of the [[Romanian War of Independence]] in the 1878, at the [[Treaty of Berlin (1878)|Treaty of Berlin]], Romania was subsequently recognized as an independent state by the [[Great Powers]].

In return for reverting to the [[Russian Empire]] three southern [[Bessarabia]]n districts that had been regained by Moldavia after the [[Crimean War]] in 1852, [[Dobruja]] was acquired.

In 1881, the [[principality]] was raised to a [[king]]dom and Prince Carol became King [[Carol I of Romania|Carol I]]. He reigned until his death in 1914, and was succeeded by his nephew, [[Ferdinand I of Romania|Ferdinand]]. Shortly after taking the throne, Ferdinand, a Roman Catholic like his predecessor, agreed to have his children reared in the [[Romanian Orthodox Church]].

In 1918 [[Transylvania]] and [[Bessarabia]] were incorporated. In 1918–19, confirmed by the [[Treaty of Versailles]] of 1919 and the [[Treaty of Trianon]] of 1920, most of the [[Banat]] became part of Romania. Also, [[Bukovina]] was incorporated in 1918.

Ferdinand died in 1927. His eldest son, Crown Prince Carol, having renounced his rights, Carol's only son [[Michael I of Romania|Michael]] ascended the throne. In 1930, however, Carol reclaimed the throne and was crowned [[Carol II of Romania|Carol II]]. Carol was forced to abdicate in 1940, and Michael re-mounted the throne. His reign, and that of the dynasty, ended when he was forced to abdicate by a communist regime in 1947.

On 10 May 2011, following lawsuits brought in Germany against his family by his German relatives regarding attribution of the title ''Prince of Hohenzollern-Veringen'' to his son-in-law, [[Prince Radu of Romania|Radu Duda]], Michael severed dynastic ties with the princely house of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, changed the name of his family to "of Romania", and ceased the use of all princely titles borne by him and his family that derived from the German Hohenzollerns.<ref>{{in lang|ro}} [http://www.adevarul.ro/locale/bucuresti/Bucuresti-_Regele_Mihai_I_anunta_ruperea_tuturor_legaturilor_istorice_si_dinastice_cu_Casa_de_Hohenzollern_0_478152444.html King Michael I announces the severance of all historical and dynastic ties to the House of Hohenzollern] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022081021/http://www.adevarul.ro/locale/bucuresti/Bucuresti-_Regele_Mihai_I_anunta_ruperea_tuturor_legaturilor_istorice_si_dinastice_cu_Casa_de_Hohenzollern_0_478152444.html |date=22 October 2012 }}, [[Adevarul]], 11 May 2011</ref><ref>{{in lang|ro}} [http://www.adevarul.ro/actualitate/eveniment/Conflictele_dintre_Casa_Regala_a_Romaniei_si_Casa_Princiara_de_Hohenzollern_0_478152637.html The history of the conflicts between the Royal House of Romania and the Princely House of Hohenzollern] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022080843/http://www.adevarul.ro/actualitate/eveniment/Conflictele_dintre_Casa_Regala_a_Romaniei_si_Casa_Princiara_de_Hohenzollern_0_478152637.html |date=22 October 2012 }}, [[Adevarul]], 11 May 2011</ref>

====Titles====
The '''head of the Romanian branch''' continued, since [[abolished monarchy|abolition of the monarchy]], to use the hereditary title he bore while reigning:
* Michael I, [[King of Romania]]

During the reign of [[Carol II of Romania]] his son, [[Michael I of Romania|Michael]], was styled {{lang|ro|Măria Sa (M.S.) Marele Voievod de Alba Iuli}} or, in English translation, "His Highness The Grand [[Voivode]] of Alba Julia".

====Styles====
The Romanian original is: {{lang|ro|Majestatea Sa (M.S.) N.N., Regele Românilor}} (or {{lang|ro|Maiestatea Sa (M.S.) N.N., Regele României}}; both forms are accepted by the [[Romanian Academy]])

The English translation is: ''His Majesty (H.M.) N.N., King of Romania''
