Fürstenberg-Fürstenberg was a territory in Swabia, which was located in present-day southern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was ruled by the House of Fürstenberg in the Circle of Swabia during the Holy Roman Empire.

History[]

The territory consisted at times of two historical states, which were both named after the state of Fürstenberg and the Fürstenberg Castle. The first state was created in 1408 as a partition of the county of Fürstenberg. After the death in 1441 of its only count, Henry VII, it was partitioned between Fürstenberg-Baar and Fürstenberg-Geisingen.

The second state emerged as a county in 1704, as a partition of Fürstenberg-Stühlingen. It was raised to a principality in 1716, then was partitioned between itself and Fürstenberg-Pürglitz in 1762, after the death of Prince Joseph Wilhelm Ernst (1699–1762).

The last male of the Fürstenberg-Fürstenberg branch was Prince Charles Joachim (1771–1804). Upon his death in 1804, the principality was inherited by the Princes of Fürstenberg-Pürglitz, who descended from Prince Joseph Wilhelm Ernst's second son.
