Line 31: The '''Province of Hohenzollern''' ({{lang-de\|Provinz Hohenzollern}}) or '''Hohenzollernsche Lande''' ("Hohenzollern lands") was a ''de facto'' [[provinces of Prussia\|province]] of the [[Kingdom of Prussia]]. It was created in 1850 by joining the principalities of [[Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen]] and [[Hohenzollern-Hechingen]] after both formerly independently ruling Catholic princely lines of the [[House of Hohenzollern]] had handed over their sovereignty to Prussia, ruled by the Protestant Hohenzollern branch. It used the same [[coat of arms]] as the main coat of arms of the ruling house. Hohenzollern consisted of a single district, the [[Regierungsbezirk]] Sigmaringen; the capital was [[Sigmaringen]]. The last census ~~in 1939~~ recorded 74,151 inhabitants; ~~the~~in ~~capital~~1939. ~~was~~ ~~[[Sigmaringen]].~~ While Hohenzollern enjoyed all the rights of a full-fledged province of Prussia, including representation in the [[Prussian parliament]], its military matters were governed by the [[Rhine Province]]. The Regierungsbezirk Sigmaringen was further subdivided into seven ''Oberamtsbezirke'', although only four of these remained by 1925, when they were merged and re-divided as two new ''[[Landkreis\|Kreise]]''. In 1946, the French military administration made it a part of the state of [[Württemberg-Hohenzollern]]. Hohenzollern has been part of the [[Germany\|German]] federal state of [[Baden-Württemberg]] since 1952.
