==Pretenders to the German throne== |
|||
=== The Hohenzollern of Prussia === |
|||
Since the abolition of the [[German monarchy]] in 1918, the heads of the [[House of Hohenzollern]] have claimed to be the titular [[King of Prussia|Kings of Prussia]] and [[Kaiser|German Emperors]]. These claims are linked by the Constitution of the former (2nd) [[German Empire]]: according to this, whoever was King of Prussia was also German Emperor, although that Empire was abolished, making the link somewhat tenuous. |
