The Two Branches

The Hohenzollern dynasty indeed had two major early-modern branches:

Brandenburg–Prussian branch
- Originally Burgraves of Nuremberg → Electors of Brandenburg → Kings of Prussia.
- Protestant in religion after the Reformation.
- Produced King Wilhelm I of Prussia, Emperor Wilhelm II, and the other rulers of the German Empire.
- This is the branch that led German unification in 1871.
Swabian Hohenzollern–Sigmaringen branch
- A much smaller, Catholic princely house in southern Germany.
- Never a major power in Germany.
- From this line came Prince Karl of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, invited by Romanians to become Prince Carol I of Romania in 1866, later crowned King of Romania in 1881.
