As a result of the Yalta Conference, France was given
its own occupation zone in Germany. The border between the American and French
sectors was set along the highway Karlsruhe-Stuttgart-Ulm (nowadays the A8).
Regions south of the road became part of the French Zone.
France joined the Prussian Hohenzollern(-Sigmaringen)
with the southern part of Württemberg to form Württemberg-Hohenzollern and
created the state of South Baden from the southern part of the former Baden
Free State.
On 18 May 1947 Württemberg-Hohenzollern adopted a
constitution. In 1949 parliament adopted the constitution for the West German
states and Württemberg-Hohenzollern became a Land of the Federal Republic of
Germany on 23 May 1949.
