Counts of Hohenberg (Swabia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the County of Hohenberg in the southwest of Germany. For the Austrian Duchy of Hohenberg, see House of Hohenberg.
The Counts of Hohenberg were an ancient swabian dynasty in the southwest of the present-day Germany, in the State of Baden-Württemberg. In the 13th century the dynasty of Hohenberg was one of the most prominent lineages in Southwestern Germany. In 1381 however, Rudolf III. Count of Hohenberg sold - highly indebted and with no male sucessor - the corpus of the County to the House of Habsburg. Some 100 years later the last sideline died out.
