Head of the house
The Schwäbische Zeitung, reporting the death of Prince Georg in 2015, wrote that his son Erich, to whom he had long entrusted operational management of the family business, now bears the princely title as head of the House of Waldburg-Zeil [2]. Munzinger describes Erich as a German nobleman and entrepreneur, head of the Zeil line, a major forest and land owner in Upper Swabia and the Allgäu, and co-shareholder of SchwäbischMedia and the Waldburg-Zeil clinics; it states that he was styled Hereditary Count until he succeeded in 2015 [1].
