Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont
Fürstentum Waldeck und Pyrmont
House of Waldeck
Waldeck was a county within the Holy Roman
Empire from about 1200. Its counts included Adolf II of Waldeck from 1270 to 1276. In 1655, its seat and the chief residence
of its rulers shifted from the castle and small town of Waldeck, overlooking the Eder river and first mentioned in 1120, to
Arolsen. In 1625, the small county of Pyrmont became part of the county through inheritance. In January 1712, the count of
Waldeck and Pyrmont was elevated to prince by Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor. For a brief period, 1805 to 1812, Pyrmont was
a separate principality as a result of inheritance and partition after the death of the previous prince, but the two parts
were united again in 1812. The independence of the principality was confirmed in 1815 by the Congress of Vienna, and Waldeck
and Pyrmont became a member of the German Confederation. From 1868 onward, the principality was administered by Prussia,
but retained its legislative sovereignty. Prussian administration served to reduce administrative costs for the small state
and was based on a ten-year contract that was repeatedly renewed until Waldeck was formally absorbed into Prussia in 1929.
In 1871, the principality became a constituent state of the new German Empire. In 1905, Waldeck and Pyrmont had an area of
1121 km² and a population of 59,000. At the end of World War I, and during the German Revolution, resulting in the
fall of all the German monarchies, the prince abdicated and Waldeck and Pyrmont became a free state within the Weimar Republic.
However, what had been Waldeck and Pyrmont's flag became the flag of the Weimar Republic, and later the Federal Republic of
Germany. The princely house of Waldeck and Pyrmont is closely related to the royal family of the Netherlands. The last ruling
prince, Frederick, was the brother of Queen consort Emma of the Netherlands.
