Fürstenberg (state)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the German County called 'Fürstenberg'. For the royal family of the same name, see Fürstenberg.

Fürstenberg was a German County located in southern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The County emerged in 1250AD around the castle of Fürstenberg, meaning "Princely Mountain". The County was partitioned in 1284 between itself and the lower County of Dillingen, and then again in 1408 between Fürstenberg-Fürstenberg and Fürstenberg-Wolfach. Over the centuries, the various Counts and Princes expanded their territories to include the Landgraviate of Baar, the Lordships of Gundelfingen, Hausen, Heiligenberg, Höwen, and Messkirch, and the Landgraviate of Stühlingen in Germany; and Pürglitz, Taikowitz, and Weitra in the Austrian domains of Bohemia and Moravia.
