Waldburg-Zeil was a County located in southeastern
Baden-Württemberg,
Germany, located around
Zeil. Waldburg-Zeil was a partition of
Waldburg-Wolfegg-Zeil. Originally ruled by Truchesses (
Stewards), Waldburg-Zeil was elevated to a County in 1628, and a Principality in 1803 shortly before being
mediatised to
Württemberg in 1806.
In 1674, Waldburg-Zeil was partitioned between itself and Waldburg-Wurzach. Count Francis Anthony inherited Waldburg-Trauchburg in 1772 (the districts of Friedburg and Scheer were later sold to Thurn and Taxis in 1785), and Steward Froben and Steward Henry of Waldburg-Wolfegg partitioned Waldburg-Waldburg after the death of Steward Gebhard.
