Rulers of Hohenlohe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of rulers of Hohenlohe. The territory was, since the medieval period, ruled by one single family: the House of Hohenlohe.
The first known member of the family mentioned in the territory was Conrad, Lord of Weikersheim. This town was, then, where the family had the right of escorting travellers and goods and charging customs (Geleitrecht), along the Tauber river on the trading route between Frankfurt and Augsburg until the 14th century. The sources of the Imperial Abbey of Lorch led Hansmartin Decker-Hauff to question if there was a close relationship between the Hohenlohe family and the House of Hohenstaufen, but, according to historian Klaus Graf, the link cannot be proved.[1] That didn't top the family, however, of later boasting this possible kinship with the Imperial family.
The name of the family, Hohenlohe was first mentioned in 1178, honouring the Hohlach Castle, near Simmershofen in Middle Franconia. The name was also adopted for the land the family ruled, because, while Weikersheim was a fiefdom of the Comburg monastery, Hohlach was then more valuable, as it was an imperial fiefdom, and as so, its owners were granted the status of imperial knight. Despite Hohlach having its advantages, such as securing the Rothenburg−Ochsenfurt road, it soon lost its importance, as the family's property was expanding directly from their ancestral town of Weikersheim. However, the lands, castles and estates the family held as a whole borrowed the name from the imperial fiefdom, Hohenlohe.
Mediatization
On 12 July 1806, the principalities became parts of the kingdoms of Bavaria and of Württemberg by the Act of the Confederation of the Rhine. Therefore, the region of Hohenlohe is presently located for the most part in the north eastern part of the State of Baden-Württemberg (forming the counties of Hohenlohe, Schwäbisch Hall and the southern part of Main-Tauber-Kreis), with smaller parts in the Bavarian administrative districts of Middle Franconia and Lower Franconia. The Hohenlohisch dialect is part of the East Franconian German dialect group and the population still values its traditional distinct identity.
