German Nobility question

[PaulChep]

I know that prior to 1870 that Germany did not exist as a county. The area that was to make up Germany were a collection of kingdoms and pricipalities. My question is in 1914 what territories were disignated kingdoms and had a ruler that carried the title of King. I know there was Prussin with Kaiser Wilhelm II, but what others were there and what was the Kings name.

Prussia, Saxony, Bavaria, Wurtemberg.(?)

Just as an aside, I was recently at a wedding in Germany. During the civil service in the town hall the mayor took the time to point out the painting of the last King of Wurtemburg! He said he hoped the King would look kindly on the couple...FUNNY!
