House of Looz-Corswarem

The House of Looz-Corswarem is an old ducal family that mostly occupied territories in what was once Austrian Netherlands.

As reigning Princes of the Principality of Rheina-Wolbeck, a Sovereign State with an area of 556 square Kilometers and capital city Rheine, they also belonged to the German nobility.

The immediate territory of the family was mediatised by the Grand Duchy of Berg in 1806.

As a former ruling or the mediatised one the family belonged to the small circle of high nobility who enjoyed equal rights for marriage purposes with the royal or reigning families.

[1] The head of the House is styled Duke of Looz-Corswarem while his children are Princes and other members are Counts.
