Hohenzollern Castle was the cradle of the Hohenzollern dynasty of princes, kings and emperors, a familiy wihich still exists today. From their palaces in the residential towns of Haigerloch, Hechingen and Sigmaringen, the Hohenzollern ruled for centuries over an extensive area between Baden and Württemberg.
