| Aanvullende informatie |
Hohenzollern-Hechingen was among the smallest sovereign territories in the German Confederation, covering barely 140 square kilometers with a population under 15,000. Frederick William Constantine ruled this pocket principality under persistent fiscal strain, and the 1846–47 gulden issues coincided almost exactly with the revolutionary pressure that would, within two years, compel him to abdicate and cede the territory outright to Prussia in 1849 — ending over five centuries of Hohenzollern-Hechingen sovereignty.
The morganatic complications of his marriage and his childlessness made the Prussian annexation a near-inevitability before the revolutions of 1848 even began.
