Hohenlohe, Geographic region in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Hohenlohe is a region in northern Baden-Württemberg characterized by rolling hills, forests, and farmland. The Kocher and Jagst rivers run through the landscape, and several towns and villages are scattered across the area, with Künzelsau serving as the main administrative hub.
The Hohenlohe family ruled this territory from medieval times until 1806. Following the Napoleonic reorganization, it became part of the Kingdom of Württemberg and has retained its geographic structure since then.
The name Hohenlohe comes from the noble family that shaped this territory for generations. Today this heritage appears in the architecture of towns and villages, where castles and timber-framed houses define the landscape.
The region is accessible by car, with a network of country roads connecting the various towns and villages. Accommodation and dining options are available in the larger towns, particularly around Künzelsau.
Several castles and fortified estates remain scattered throughout the region, including Waldenburg perched on a hilltop above the valley. These structures reveal how strategically important the Hohenlohe family positioned their seats of power.
