Principality
of Reuss Fürstentum Reuß jüngerer Linie
House
of Reuss - Younger Line The Principality of Reuss Younger Line (German: Fürstentum Reuß
jüngerer Linie) was a sovereign state in modern Germany, ruled by members of the House of Reuss. The Counts Reuss
of Gera, of Schleiz, of Lobenstein, of Köstritz and of Ebersdorf, each became princes in 1806, and they and their reigning
successors bore the title Prince Reuss, Younger Line. One may also refer to them using their branch names (for example:
Prince Reuss of Köstriz). The territories of four separate branches of the Younger Line amalgamated between 1824 and
1848. In 1905 the Principality of Reuss Younger Line had an area of 827 km² and a population of 145,000, with Gera
as its capital. In the aftermath of World War I the territory of the Younger Line merged with that of the Elder Line in 1919
as the Republic of Reuss, which in its turn became part of the new state of Thuringia on 1 May 1920.
The House of Reuss practises an unusual system of naming
and numbering the male members of the family, every one of which for centuries has borne the name "Heinrich".
While most royal and noble houses give numbers only to the reigning head of the house, and that in the order of his reign,
the Reuss Younger Line used a numbering sequence for all male family members which began and ended roughly as centuries
began and ended. In consequence of this naming system, certain heads of the Reuss Younger Line have had the highest numbers
attached to their name of any European nobility. Note also that the male children within a single nuclear family need not
bear sequential numbers, as all members of the larger family use a common numbering system. For example, the sons of Prince
Heinrich LXVII Reuss of Schleiz, in order of their births, used the names Heinrich V, Heinrich VIII, Heinrich XI, Heinrich
XIV, and Heinrich XVI. A notable member of this family, Augusta Reuss of Ebersdorf (1757-1831), became the maternal grandmother
of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. The designation "younger line" fell into abeyance in 1930; the "elder
line" had become extinct as its last member, Heinrich XXIV, renounced his rights in 1918 and died unmarried in 1927.

Heads of the House of Reuss
The Titles and Styles of the Family
This family is legendary for the fact that nearly every male member for centuries was named
Heinrich. In modern times the family was divided into two main lines: those descended from Heinrich (1506-1572) and those
descended from his brother Heinrich (1530-1572). The former, the Grafen Reuss von Greiz, Untergreiz, and Obergreiz, were elevated
to princely status in 1778, and its members bore the title Prince or Princess Reuss, ältere Linie, or, sometimes, Prince
or Princess Reuss zu Greiz, together with the fomal appellation of His or Her Serene Highness. The members of this line were
numbered sequentially, the last series beginning with Heinrich I (born 1693) and ending with Heinrich XXIV (1878-1927). The
latter line were the Grafen Reuss von Gera, von Schleiz, von Lobenstein, von Köstritz and von Ebersdorf. The members
of these branches of this line shared a numbering sequence which began and ended roughly as centuries began and ended. This
line achieved princely status in 1806, and its members bore the title Prince or Princess Reuss, jüngere Linie, together
with the formal appellation of His or Her Serene Highness, though they sometimes were referred to by their branch names (e.g.,
Prince Reuss zu Köstritz). The designation "jüngere Linie" was dropped in 1931. The Reuss Family before
1815 was called Reuss von Greiz, Reuss von Gera etc. After 1815 the various lines of the family changed their nobility particle
to "zu". The Genealogy of the Princely
