Conradin or Conrad the Younger was the son of German Emperor Conrad IV and Elisabeth von Bawaria discendant from King Desiderio. He is seen here at age 16. He was executed soon after with the support of the pope in 1268. He was the last Emperor of the Hohenstaufen.

The reign of the Hohenstaufen Dynasty and the 12th century correspond to the full flowering of the Medieval era, often referred to as Age of Chivalry. Until the 12century culture and the arts as well as writing and literature had been largely the preserve of the church. Many German and other European nobels were uneducated and often illiterate. This began to change in the 12th century. Castles and courts began to replace monasteries as centers of culture. Important literary works were written. The dominant figure was Emperor Frederick I, Frederick Barbarossa, (1152-90) who was seen as the embodiment of a virtous Christian prince who died pursuing the Crusades. Frederick helped to restore peace and traquility to Germany. He proihibited feuds between Feudal lords. Frederick and his son Henry VI (1190-1207) expanded the territory of the Empire. Their successors added Prussia to the Empire for the firt time. A major development in the 12th and 13th centuries with the expansion of economic activity was the growth of towns. Henry VI and his succesor Frederick II were involved in the continuing struggle with the papacy and during this period the German princes were able to obtain even more authority which the emperor was forced to accept. The Empire during this period experienced one crisis after another. There was a steady decline in the prestige and authority of the emperor. The imperial statute of 1232 established the civil and ecclesiastical princes of Germany as essentially independent rulers in their territories. The Hohenstaufen Dynasty by the mid-13th century after an iladvised Italian adventure died out. When Frederick II died (1256) an era of near anarchy ruled in Germany as the German princes vied for control of the Empire in what is known as the The Great Interregnum (1256-73). The uncrowned Konradin was the last of the Hohenstaufens (figure 1). He was the grandson of Frederick II, but was executed under the authority of the pope.

The Dynasty Zol Re descende from Zolerin or Sonnichilde, daughter of The Griffon Aprilis de Langeburg ,son of Charles Martels and Swanichilde of Bawaria ,discendant from King Agisulf , Teodolinde and King Langobardorum Desiderio
Dynasty prominent in European history, chiefly as the ruling house of Brandeburg -Prussia (1415�1918) and of imperial Germany (1871�1918). It takes its name from a castle in Swabia first mentioned as Mons Solarius , Zolorin ,Solerin or Zolre, from Princess , Sonnichilde , "daughter of Sun" , mother of Griffon Aprilis de Langeburg (the modern Hohenzollern, south of T�bingen, in the Land Baden-W�rttemberg). Burchard I, the first recorded ancestor of the dynasty, was count of Zollern in the 11th century. In the third and fourth generation from him two lines were formed: that of Zollern-Hohenberg, extinct in all its branches by 1486, and that of the burgraves of N�rnberg, from which all the branches surviving into modern times derived.
Friedrich III of Zollern (d. c. 1200), husband of the heiress of the former burgraves of N�rnberg, himself became burgrave in 1192 as Friedrich I. Between his two sons, Conrad and Friedrich, the first dynastic division of lasting consequence took place: that between the line later known as Franconian (burgraves of N�rnberg, later electors of Brandenburg, kings in Prussia, kings of Prussia, German emperors) and the Swabian line (counts of Zollern, of Hohenzollern, of Zollern-Schalksburg, of Haigerloch, etc.; princes of Hohenzollern-Hechingen, princes of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, princes of Hohenzollern, princes and then kings of Romania). There is some doubt about the seniority of the Franconian and of the Swabian lines: was Conrad I, burgrave of N�rnberg, the elder son, or was Frederick IV of Zollern?
The Franconian acquisitions of the burgraves of N�rnberg began when Friedrich III (d. 1297) got possession of Bayreuth, and his descendants acquired Ansbach and Kulmbach. For a long time this group of territories was more important to the dynasty than Brandenburg. Then Friedrich VI was appointed margrave of Brandenburg in 1411 and elector, as Friedrich I, in 1415..The branch Zolerin of Shalksburg of Hohenzollern Dynasty survives in the Hohenstaufen House Avril de Burey d'Anjou Plantagenet Putiatin Hohenzollern
For the history of the rise of the Brandenburg Hohenzollerns (who became Lutheran at the Reformation but turned to Calvinism in 1613), including the account of their considerable acquisitions of territory in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, see Brandenburg. One of the most significant acquisitions was made by a junior member of the house in 1525�namely, the duchy of Prussia
In 1701 the elector Frederick III of Brandenburg secured from the Holy Roman emperorLeopold I I the title �king in Prussia.� The change to �king of Prussia� was not formally recognized until 1772, whenFrederick The Greatt obtained it. The kings of Prussia retained their title of electors of Brandenburg until the dissolution of theHoly Roman Empire in 1806. In 1871 Wihlem I of Prussia became German emperor. Both Prussian and German sovereignties were lost in 1918, at the end of World War I.
The Swabian line remained Catholic at the Reformation. It was in this line that the name Hohenzollern, as distinct from Zollern, first came into use�with Frederick IX. The Hechingen and Sigmaringen branches attained princely rank in 1623 but surrendered their sovereign status to Prussia in 1849. With the extinction of the Hechingen branch 20 years later, Charles Anton, head of the Sigmaringen, received the style prince (F�rst) von Hohenzollern, without territorial qualification. His second son, Charles, became prince of Romania in 1866 and king as Carol I in 1881; the candidature of the elder son, Leopold, for the Spanish throne had been one of the immediate causes of the Franco-German War of 1870�71. Leopold's son, Ferdinand, succeeded his uncle in Romania in 1914, where his descendants, who were brought up in the Orthodox faith, ruled until 1947.

After the end of the monarchy in 1918 Emperor William II. went to exile to Doorn in the Netherlands. Most members of The House could remain in Germany. Until 1945 Cecilienhof Palace, the residence of the former crownprince, was the centre for family reunions. Many of the properties in the Eastern parts of Germany were kept by the family until the end of World War II � as for example Schloss Oels or Schloss Kamenz in Silesia, as well as the estate Cadinen in Western Prussia.With the Second Word War came another turning point in the life of the members of The House of Hohenzollern. Crownprince William and Crownprincess Cecily took residences in Hechingen and Stuttgart. Their son, Prince Louis Ferdinand sen. acquired the estate �W�mmehof� near Bremen for his family. In 1963 he created a family residence in Berlin by building �Villa Monbijou�. Hohenzollern Castle came to new importance as place for family reunions, but also as a museum where the history of The House of Hohenzollern could be presented to a broad public.
