A sidenote to Dukes of Teck, i live next to Teck mountain with castle ruin. The original Dukes of Teck had been only , titular' Dukes, last one died in 1450s Italy. Britisch monarchs are from medieval time also related to long gone real Teck dynasty.

@theultimatefreak666 : After 1806, or better 1815, the Heads of Houses who lost their countries between 1803 and 1806 had been known as , Standesherren ' with some remaining honory rights. Some time ago , i read, a quarter of those Standesherren died out. Also mostly in swabian, frankish and rhineish region, there had been the Reichsritter ( Imperial Knights), who had been Independent Knights, who could reign their Village like a Monarch. Also from this Reichsritter, many families no more exist.

A mistake: Bayern, Württemberg and Großherzogtum ( Great Duchy) Baden had NEVER been part of North German Federation! These three countries had secret support treaties with North German Federation, what France in 1870 not knew at once. When in 1871 German Empire was founded, Württemberg was last country which joined.

@kleinweichkleinweich : In 1815, when German Federation was formed, there had been two ( catholic) swabian Principalities of Hohenzollern dynasty. The principality of Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen ( which was the larger one), and Hohenzollern - Hechingen ( where Hohenzollern castle really is). In 1849 both Lines gave their territories to their mighty prussian relatives, who saved their Thrones in 1848. Today only branch Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen is allive. Two sidenotes: It is strange , that Habsburg, Hohenzollern and Hohenstaufen dynasty had their root in former Duchy Swabia. Next to Hohenstaufen, i live in this Region, there is the small castle Wäscherschloß, inhabitated up to 1857. As far as i know , Wäscherschloß and Wäscherhof had been in HRE time no part of Württemberg, but owned by Habsburg dynasty from 15th century to 1857, when they sold it to nonnoble owners, last Person living in Castle, seemed to be a Förster.

@caciliawhy5195 : ??? Up to mid 12th century, current Austria was borderland ( Mark) of Bavaria to the nongerman hungarians and slavic people. From 10th century to 1806 ( End of HRE) both german part of Austria and czech territory ( Böhmen/ Bohemia) was regular part of HRE. From 1815 to 1866 german part of Austrian Empire was regular part of German Federation. And : Before 1806 the real Prussia was no regular part of HRE, only the Electorate of Brandenburg.

@theultimatefreak666 : Attention! Von means only , coming from', so there are a small number of persons in Germany ( perhaps also Austria and Switzerland) who have a ,von' in their name, but had never been nobles.
