The Counts of Hohenberg were an ancient swabian dynasty in the southwest of the present-day Germany, in the State of Baden-Württemberg. In the 13th century the dynasty of Hohenberg was one of the most prominent lineages in Southwestern Germany. In 1381 however, Rudolf III. Count of Hohenberg sold – highly indebted and with no male successor – the corpus of the County to the House of Habsburg. Some 100 years later the last sideline died out. The County of Hohenberg persisted de jure until 1806.
