House of Waldburg
The House of Waldburg is a Swabian noble family named after Waldburg castle near Ravensburg. Its members served the Hohenstaufen emperors as imperial stewards (Truchsess) and later divided into several lines, among them Waldburg-Wolfegg and Waldburg-Zeil, which ruled small counties in Upper Swabia. Their lands were mediatised in 1806, mainly to Württemberg, and both lines survive as princely families.
