Hohenlohe-Jagstberg Explained

Hohenlohe-Jagstberg is the name of a branch of the House of Hohenlohe with its seat at Haltenbergstetten Castle in northeastern Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The branch of Hohenlohe-Brauneck received Jagstberg Castle (near Mulfingen) as af fief from the Bishop of Würzburg around 1300. The Lords of Hohenlohe-Brauneck became extinct in 1390. Jagstberg Castle came to various other feudal holders, but repeatedly also back to the House of Hohenlohe.

A side line of the branch of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, whose principality was mediatised to Württemberg in 1806, was founded by Charles Joseph who was created Prince of Hohenlohe-Jagstberg in 1798 and acquired Haltenbergstetten Castle in 1803 which had been built by the House of Hohenlohe around 1200.

A second branch of that name descends from Albrecht (1906-1996), created Prince of Hohenlohe-Jagstberg in 1906. Their residence is Haltenbergstetten Castle.
