Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst was a county in northeastern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its name derives from the castle of Hohenloch near Uffenheim in Mittelfranken, which came into the possession of the descendants of Conrad of Weikersheim by 1178.[1] Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst was partitioned from the lands held by the descendants of Kraft of Hohenlohe, who was made an Imperial count in 1450.[1] The Hohenlohe territories were divided between the brothers Count Ludwig Kasimir (d.1517-1568) (of the senior Neunstein line, progenitors of the Hohenlohe-Langenburg and Hohenlohe-Oehringen branches) and Count Eberhard (1535-1570), founder of the various Hohenlohe-Waldenburg branches.[1] The Schillingsfürst line descends from Count Ludwig Gustav (1634-1697), whose descendant Philipp obtained the erection of his fiefs into a principality within the Holy Roman Empire, enjoying Imperial immediacy, in 1744.[1] The county of Waldenburg was added to the principality in 1757. It was mediatised to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806.

Three branches are extant; those of Waldenburg, Ratibor and Corvey, and Schillingsfürst.[1] The members of the house bear the style of "Prince/Princess of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst" or "Prince/Princess von Ratibor und Corvey, Prince/Princess of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst" or "Prince/Princess of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst, von Ratibor und Corvey" or Prince/Princess von Ratibor und Corvey" or "Prince/Princess of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst, von Ratibor und Corvey" depending upon which of the four sub-lines of the Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst branch to which they belong.[1]
