Hapsburg, ( German : Habsburg), a German royal family that provided 20 Holy Roman emperors, holding that title almost continuously from 1438 until the empire ended in 1806. Hapsburgs occupied the throne of Germany at various times during 1273–1326 and almost continuously from 1438 to 1806. They also ruled Austria, 1278–1918, and Spain, 1516–1700. The Hapsburgs who were Austrian monarchs also held title to the throne of Hungary and Bohemia, 1526–1918. The original seat of the Hapsburgs was Habsburg; a small German domain now in Switzerland.
