Burkhard I Count of Zollern (born: before 1025; killed as part of a feud in 1061) is considered the first well-documented ancestor of the Hohenzollern dynasty. Because of his name it has been attempted to link the Hohenzollern family’s descent to the medieval Burchardings family but without success. His father may have been Frederick a count in the Sülichgau area (roughly corresponding to today’s Tübingen district).
