Waldburg-Wurzach was a County and later Principality within Holy Roman Empire, ruled by the House of Waldburg, located on the southeastern border of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, located around Wurzach (located about 15 km (9 mi) west of Bad Waldsee). Waldburg-Wurzach was a partition of Waldburg-Zeil. Waldburg-Wurzach was a county prior to 1803, when it was raised to a principality shortly before being mediatised to Württemberg in 1806.
Prince Eberhard II was the senior of the entire House of Waldburg, which carried the title of Imperial Hereditary Oberhofmeister of the Kingdom of Württemberg. Upon his death in 1903, the Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach line died out in the male line, after which Prince Wilhelm of Waldburg-Zeil (1835–1906), also bore the title of Prince of Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach.
