SIGMARINGEN

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 70 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SIGMARINGEN , a town of Germany,
chief
  town of the Prussian principality of Hohenzollern, on the right bank of the
Danube
 , 55 M. S. of
Tubingen
 , on the railway to Ulm. Pop. (1905) 4621. The castle of the Hohenzollerns crowns a high
rock
  above the river, and contains a collection of pictures, an exceptionally interesting museum (textiles, enamels, metal-
work
 , &c.), an armoury and a library. On the opposite bank of the
Danube
  there is a war
monument
  to the Hohenzollern men who fell in 1866 and 187o-1871.
The division of Sigmaringen is composed of the two formerly sovereign principalities of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and Hohenzollern-Hechingen (see HOHENZOLLERN), and has an area of 440 sq. m. and a
population
  (1905) of 68,282. The Sigmaringen
part
  of the Hohenzollern lands was the larger of the two (297 sq. m.) and lay mainly to the
south
  of Hechingen, though the
district
  of Haigerloch on the Neckar also belonged to it. The name of Hohenzollern is used much more frequently than the official Sigmaringen to designate the combined principalities.
See Woerl, Fuhrer durch Sigmaringen (Wurzburg,1886).
