Overview
The Kingdom of Württemberg (German: Königreich Württemberg [ˌkøːnɪkʁaɪç ˈvʏʁtəmbɛʁk]) was a German state that existed from 1806 to 1918, occupying territory in what is now the southern German federal state of Baden-Württemberg. The kingdom emerged during the period of territorial reorganisation that followed the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, when the Electorate of Württemberg was elevated to royal status as part of Napoleon’s restructuring of the German lands.
