The Swabian branch ruled the principalities of Hohenzollern-Hechingen and Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen until 1849, and also ruled Romania from 1866 to 1947. Members of the Franconian branch became Margrave of Brandenburg in 1415 and Duke of Prussia in 1525.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hohenzollern Dynasty: Motive and Movement I suppose that, as a matter of course, the main judgment which I have drawn from the studies summarized in this little book, has been given by many others: but it has not happened to me to meet it just as here presented. I have long believed that the present German Empire came into being as the result of an aggressive dynastic movement whose beginnings lay in the far past in the ambitious dreamings of the ruler of a petty German State; and whose growth, through centuries of national vicissitudes, had been made preserving and advancing all the while the original motive.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between them, the Habsburg and Hohenzollern dynasties controlled the fortunes of central Europe through most of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The Habsburgs had fallen heir to what was left of the Holy Roman Empire. They were a long-established house and ruled in Austria, the Tirol, Hungary, Bohemia (not to become Czechoslovakia until modern times), and parts of Germany. The Hohenzollerns in 1600 were far less august, their lands little more than a medium-sized principality that had started as the Mark of Brandenburg. Yet, within two hundred years, they were challenging the leadership pf the Habsburgs, expanding their territories and organizing the military Prussian state while the rival house. in a sense, squandered its heritage through division of authority and indifferent government.These were troubled centuries, filled with turmoil and dramatic events. Religion was a divisive force in the Habsburg lands, where the rulers were Roman Catholic and the Estates representing the privileged classes were Protestant. The Thirty Years' War, arising from religious tensions, was won at horrendous cost by the Habsburgs, who then instituted repressive policies. The war with the Turks brought forth the heroic figures of the Pole Sobieski, who delivered besieged Vienna, and Eugene of Savoy, whose generalship proved decisive. In 1740 the bloody heritage passes on to the young Maria Theresa. The spirited empress brought her lands many economic, cultural, and social reforms despite more wars, including the onslaught of the Hohenzollern Frederick the Great. The extraordinary Fredrick was the culmination of the dynasty of Hohenzollerns. Almost every one of them added to the house's lands, enlarged the army, and helped to construct an imposing bureaucracy. Frederick was the prototype of the enlightened-century France. No mere dilettante, by the end of his reign he had fully doubted the wealth of his dominions and doubled their size. An ample selection in this very useful volume of documentary materials is devoted to Frederick, balancing in the deserved emphasis in the first half of his Habsburg contemporary, Maria Theresa.
