Friedrich IV (Zollern)
Friedrich II. Of Nuremberg and Friedrich IV. Of Zollern-Hohenzollern (* around 1188, † around 1255) was burgrave of Nuremberg and count of Zollern .
Life
Friedrich II. Was the younger son of Friedrich I. von Nürnberg-Zollern (around 1139 – around 1200) and his wife Sophia von Raabs († around 1218). After his father's death, he succeeded him as Burgrave of Nuremberg around 1200. When in 1218 (1214?) The property in Zoller was redistributed, he handed over the Franconian possessions with the title of burgrave to his older brother Konrad I.
After leaving the Nuremberg burgrave office, he took over the county of Hohenzollern, which is located in the Swabian home region of Zollern . As a result, as Friedrich IV of Zollern, he became the founder of the Swabian line of the House of Hohenzollern , the Counts of Zollern-Hohenzollern . His successor as Count von Hohenzollern was his son Friedrich V von Zollern († May 24, 1289).
