Hi there,

I am trying to make a list of royal and noble lines from Germany, with their current heads. This task seems to be pretty hard as there aren't many information about it floating around. Maybe we can do that together! Here is now a list of the royal houses with their heads, which I have already compiled:

- Anhalt-Askanien: Eduard Prinz von Anhalt (*1941)

- Bismarck: Ferdinand Fürst von Bismarck (*1930)

- Hohenlohe-Bartenstein: Ferdinand Michael Fürst zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein (*1942)
- Hohenlohe-Jagstberg: Alexander Prinz zu Hohenlohe-Jagstberg (*1937)
- Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst: Friedrich Karl Fürst zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst (*1933)
- Hohenzollern: Georg Friedrich Prinz von Preußen (*1976)
- Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen: Friedrich Wilhelm Prinz von Hohenzollern (*1924)
- Liechtenstein: Hans Adam Fürst von Liechtstein (*1945)
- Lippe: Armin Prinz zur Lippe-Detmold (*1924)
- Mecklenburg-Strelitz: Borwin Herzog zu Mecklenburg (*1956)
- Neipperg: Joseph Hubert Graf von Neipperg (*1918)
- Oldenburg: Anton Günther Herzog von Oldenburg (*1923)
- Reuss: Heinrich IV Prinz Reuss (*1919)
- Salm-Salm: Carl-Philipp Prinz zu Salm-Salm (*1933)
- Schaumburg-Lippe: Alexander Prinz zu Schaumburg-Lippe (*1958)
- Schoenaich-Carolath: Friedrich Prince of Schoenaich-Carolath (*1943)
- Schwarzenberg: Karl Prinz zu Schwarzenberg (*1937)
- Schleswig-Holstein: Christoph Prinz zu Schleswig-Holstein (*1949)
