Count '''Friedrich IV of Zollern''' ({{circa|1188}} – {{circa|1255}}), also known as Burgrave Friedrich II of Nuremberg, was Burgrave of Nuremberg from 1204 to 1218 and Count of Zollern from 1218 until his death.
==Life==
Friedrich IV was the younger son of [[Friedrich I, Burgrave of Nuremberg|Friedrich I of Nuremberg-Zollern]] ({{circa| 1139}} – {{circa|1200}}) and his wife [[Sophia of Raabs]] (died {{circa|1218}}) . After his father's death, he was appointed as his successor as Burgrave of Nuremberg.  In 1218, Friedrich and his older brother [[Conrad I, Burgrave of Nuremberg|Conrad I]] divided their inheritance: Conrad received the Franconian possessions and became Burgrave of Nuremberg; Friedrich received the ancestral [[County of Zollern]].  He is considered the founder of the Swabian line of the [[House of Hohenzollern]].
He died {{circa|1255}} and was succeeded as Count of Zollern by his son [[Friedrich V, Count of Zollern|Friedrich V]] (died 24 May 1289).
