Schwarzburg Rudolstadt

Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was a small state in Germany, in the present-day state of Thuringia, with capital at Rudolstadt. It was founded after the partition of the schwarzburger possessions in 1599. A county until 1711, in that year it became a principality.

In late 1918, and during the German Revolution, resulting in the fall of all the German monarchies, the prince abdicated, and in 1920 the former principality became a part of the new state of Thuringia. Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt had an area of km ( sq mi) and a population of 97,000 (1905).
