currency = The House of Hohenzollern-Haigerloch is a branch of the senior Swabian branch of the Hohenzollern dynasty, less known however than the Franconian branch which became Burgraves of Nuremberg and later ruled Brandenburg, Prussia and ultimately Germany.

The countship of Hohenzollern-Haigerloch was created in 1576, upon the partition of the countship of Hohenzollern, a fief of the Holy Roman Empire. When the last count of Hohenzollern, Charles I of Hohenzollern (1512-1579) died, the territory was to be divided up between his three sons:
* Eitel Frederick IV of Hohenzollern-Hechingen (1545–1605)
* Charles II of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (1547–1606)
* Christoph of Hohenzollern-Haigerloch (1552–1592)

The Counts (Grafen) of Hohenzollern-Haigerloch ruled over a small countship in southwest Germany. Unlike the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg and Prussia, the Hohenzollern of Haigerloch, and their cousins of Hohenzollern of Hechingen, the seniormost branch of the Swabian branch of the House of Hohenzollern, and Hohenzollern of Sigmaringen, remained Roman Catholic.

The principality was incorporated into the principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen between 1630 and 1681. In 1767 it was permanently incorporated into Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.
