Origin/meaning
The Provostry of Ellwangen was established in 1460 as the secular successor state of the Abbey of Ellwangen with the rank of Principality. The provostry was led by a prince-provost and a chapter consisting of 12 noble canons and 10 vicars. In 1803 it was incorporated into Württemberg. Many of the Prince-Provosts were also bishop of one or more dioceses.
