Principality of Hohenzollern-Hechingen Fürstentum Hohenzollern-Hechingen Hohenzollern-Hechingen
was a county and principality in southwestern Germany. Its rulers belonged to a branch of the senior Swabian branch of the
Hohenzollern dynasty. The County of Hohenzollern-Hechingen was created in 1576, upon the partition of the County of Hohenzollern,
a fief of the Holy Roman Empire. When the last count of Hohenzollern, Charles I of Hohenzollern (1512-1579) died, the territory
was to be divided up between his three sons: - Eitel Frederick IV of Hohenzollern-Hechingen (1545-1605)
- Charles II of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (1547-1606)
- Christopher of Hohenzollern-Haigerloch (1552-1592)
Unlike the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg and Prussia, the Hohenzollerns
of southwest Germany remained Roman Catholic. The County was raised to a principality in 1623. The principality joined the
Confederation of the Rhine in 1806 and was a member state of the German Confederation between 1815 and 1850. The democratic
Revolution of 1848 was relatively successful in Hohenzollern, and on 16 May 1848, the Prince was forced to accept the establishment
of a constitution. However, the conflict between monarch and democrats continued, and on 6 August, Hohenzollern was occupied
by Prussian forces. On 7 December 1849, Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Konstantin sold the country to his relative, King Frederick
William IV of Prussia. On 12 March 1850, Hohenzollern-Hechingen officially became part of Prussia, and formed together with
Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen the Hohenzollernsche Lande.

Note: I have received the following communication from a correspondent: "My uncle Ferdinand Paphazy was born in 1898.His
brother Josef (my father) in 1900. Their father Ivan P and mother Margit. Around 1922-23 Ferdinands wallet was stolen together
with other articles.It was not until 1932 that a certain Ursula presented at the family home,claiming to be Ferdinand's widow.She
was very disturbed and destitute.The real story emerged and the thief had impersonated my uncle.I understand that Ursula died
in a mental institution.Ferdinand was a lawyer ,married with no offspring and he died in1952 in Budapest. I hope this helps
so that an inaccuracy may not be perpetuated. John Paphazy, Melbourne, Australia." A subsequent communication from John
Paphazy explained that his mother remembered that it was Ferdinand's passport which had been stolen.
