Line of succession to the former throne of Württemberg

Line of succession to the former throne of Württemberg

The monarchy of Württemberg came to an end in 1918 along with the rest of the monarchies that made up the German Empire. The last sovereign King of Württemberg was William II.

With the death of William II in 1921, the succession bypassed the former Duke of Teck and the Duke of Urach, who were both descended from morganatic marriages, and the headship of the royal house was inherited by Duke Albrecht of Württemberg of the Altshausen branch of the royal family. The current head of the royal house is Carl, Duke of Württemberg.

The succession is determined by Article 7 of the 1819 Constitution of the Kingdom of Württemberg, which states, "The right of the succession to the throne belongs to the male line of the royal house; the order of the same is determined by the succession of lines according to primogeniture".[1]

The order of succession after Duke Carl is:

  1. Duke Friedrich (b. 1961)
  2. Duke Wilhelm (b. 1994)
  3. Duke Eberhard (b. 1963)
  4. Duke Philipp (b. 1964)
  5. Duke Carl Theodor (b. 1999)
  6. Duke Michael (b. 1965)
  7. Duke Ferdinand Eugen (b. 1925)
  8. Duke Eugen Eberhard (b. 1930)
  9. Duke Alexander Eugen (b. 1933)
