The House of Hohenzollern went so far as to adopt the Prussian Coat-Of-Arms as the coat-of-arms of the then newly-formed German Empire in 1871 under Kaiser Wilhelm I. After all, the aim of the Prussian Chancellor Otto Prince von Bismarck was to unify the German states under Prussian leadership. Therefore it was natural for the Hohezollerns to adopt their Coat-Of-Arms for the entire German Empire.

How about this one: Prinz von Hohenzollern GmbH. They produce wine, champagne and brandy.

Additionally there is the Zollern GmbH & Co. KG with some 2800 employees world wide, a casting house, steel producer, etc.

Furtheron some real estate and other small entities.

More information available on Beteiligungen - Unternehmensgruppe Fürst von Hohenzollern

Is the Head of German Imperial House regarded as higher than other royal people such as the Duke of Bavaria et al ? What is his rank in relation to that of Dr Otto ?

Default 300 years Zollern - anniversary
SZON - Zollern hat allen Grund zum Feiern

Hi, today's Schwäbische Zeitung had a huge article with many pics (including family members) on the anniversary of Zollern. The company was founded early in the 18 th century by Prince Meinrad II of Hohenzollern. Currently it is lead by Karl Friedrich Erbprinz von Hohenzollern. Unfortunatly the online-article has none of the pics .

That was not a George but Prince Franz Wilhelm of Prussia. He married GD Maria in 1977 in Madrid; the couple divorced 10 years later.

Prince Franz Wilhelm was the son of Prince Karl Franz of Prussia and Princess Henriette of Schoenaich- Carolath (daughter of Hermine, second wife of Kaiser Wilhelm II) and the grand son of Prince Joachim of Prussia and princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt. Prince Joachim on his turn was the 6th son of Kaiser Wilhelm II and Empress Auguste Viktoria.

Wikipedia has some information of the prince, who was known as Grand Duke Michael Pavlovich during his marriage. Look here.

zohara, if you read the post that comes just two posts after the one you quoted you will find the nature of the Princess's medical condition, and the post after that one gives some more details.

In the thread about the Schaumburg-Lippe's Jo of Palentine mentioned the following:

Quote:
Compared to the enfant terribles of the Hohenzollern, Ferfried and this stupid Karl Alexander and their TV-escapades (...)
Now I am well aware of the escapaded of prince Ferfied but what did Karl Alexander do? I suppose you mean the son of prince Emmanuel and princess Katharina of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach?
