Hohenzollern (Hohenzollernsche Lande in German) was a province of the Kingdom of Prussia.
It was created in 1850 by joining the principalities of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and Hohenzollern-Hechingen after both formerly independent states had been annexed by Prussia, ruled by the protestant branch of the House of Hohenzollern.
Hohenzollern consisted of a single district, the Regierungsbezirk Sigmaringen.
The House of Hohenzollern is a German dynasty of electors, kings, and emperors of Prussia, Germany, and Romania.
The Hohenzollern family originated in the area around the town of Hechingen in Swabia during the 11th century.
Another branch of the Hohenzollerns, actually the dynastically senior line, the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringens, were also important landowners in pre-German-Empire Germany, and later were the princes (1866–1881) and kings (1881–1947) of Romania.
