Württemberg (/ˈwɜːrtəmbɜːrɡ, ˈvɜːrt-/ WURT-əm-burg, VURT-, German: [ˈvʏɐ̯təmbɛɐ̯k]) is a historical German territory roughly corresponding to the cultural and linguistic region of Swabia. Together with Baden and Hohenzollern, two other historical territories, it now forms the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg. Württemberg was formerly also spelled Würtemberg and Wirtemberg.
History
Originally part of the old Duchy of Swabia, its history can be summarized in the following periods:
County of Württemberg (1083–1495)
Duchy of Württemberg (1495–1803)
Electorate of Württemberg (1803–1806)
Kingdom of Württemberg (1806–1918)
Free People's State of Württemberg (1918–1945)
After World War II, it was split into Württemberg-Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern. Finally, in 1952, it was integrated into Baden-Württemberg. Stuttgart, the historical capital city of Württemberg, became the capital of the present state.
