The Hohenzollern family

The Hohenzollern family is a historic German dynasty that ruled various territories, most notably Prussia and the German Empire, from the 15th century until the early 20th century. They played a key role in European politics, military, and culture, with the German Emperor and King of Prussia titles held by their members. The family’s influence declined after Germany's monarchy ended in 1918, but they remain a prominent noble house with historical legacy. Their history reflects the rise and transformation of German nationalism and monarchy over several centuries.
