I got the following replies: ======= | I believe it was the name of the Royal family, or something like that. | | Randy ======= | Hohenzollern was the name of the royal house of Prussia as I understand | it....

Where in Germany do I find the federal state of Wuertemberg-Hohenzollern? This was the question I intended to ask. I already found out that the castle of Hohenzollern is in the federal state of Bayern (Bavaria), but that state is mentioned itself in the list of states to which the constitution applies.
