The '''Province of Hohenzollern''' (German: {{Lang|lang-de|Hohenzollernsche Lande}}, ''Hohenzollern Lands'') was a district of [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussia]] from 1850 to 1946. It was located in [[Swabia]], the region of southern Germany that was the ancestral home of the [[House of Hohenzollern]], to which the kings of [[Prussia]] belonged.
 
The Hohenzollern Lands were formed in 1850 from two principalities that had belonged to members of the Catholic branch of the Hohenzollern family. They were united to create a unique type of administrative district (''[[Regierungsbezirk]]'') that was not a true province<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Lilla |first=Joachim |title=Die administrativen Beziehungen der Hohenzollernschen (Hohenzollerischen) Lande zur Rheinprovinz |trans-title=The Administrative Relations of the Hohenzollern Lands to the Rhine Province (1852 to 1945) |url=http://www.rheinische-geschichte.lvr.de/themen/Epochen%C3%BCbergreifend/Seiten/DieadministrativenBeziehungenderHohenzollernschenLande.aspx |website=Portal Rheinische Geschichte |language=de}}</ref> – a {{Lang|de|Regierungsbezirk}} was normally a part of a province – but that had almost all the rights of a Prussian province.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Romeyk |first=Horst |title=Verwaltungs- und Behördengeschichte der Rheinprovinz 1914–1945 |publisher=Droste Verlag |year=1985 |location=Düsseldorf |pages=123 ff |language=de |trans-title=History of Administration and Public Authorities of the Rhine Province 1914–1945}}</ref> The Hohenzollern Lands lost their separate identity in 1946 when they were made part of the state of [[Württemberg-Hohenzollern]] following [[World War II]].
