[edit] Why to Prussia?
Why was this a Prussian possession if it was deep in Wuerttemberger territory? Brutannica 18:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- The Revolution of 1848 had been rather successful in Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and Hohenzollern-Hechingen. So, instead of risking to be deposed by democrats, the princes sold their countries to the King of Prussia, who belonged to the same family anyway (House of Hohenzollern). Prussia, with its large military, had no problem suppressing the revolution. The princes got to keep their privileges as members of the nobility and received a lot of money. Prussia's main interest was probably the squashing of the revolution, because if the revolution in Hohenzollern had been successful, it might well have strengthened democratic movements in other countries.

- And it was from this tiny region where the House of Hohenzollern originated. - 52 Pickup 21:44, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
