Frederick II, Count of Zollern (died: 1142[1] or after 1145[2]) was the eldest son of Frederick I, Count of Zollern, and became Count of Zollern after his father's death around 1125.[3]
It was also at this time that the counts of Zollern were able to greatly increase their possessions in terms of both territory and castles in the southwestern parts of today's Germany, expanding to the Rhine, and lower Danube, as well as adding territory in Alsace and by the Neckar. All of these possessions were in the form of allodial land. Land held in feudal tenure was added to these outright possessions to form the ancestral territory of the counts of Zollern.[3]
