AHC: Hohenzollern Netherlands

Under what circumstances could a Hohenzollern King rule on the Dutch throne between 1800 - 1914?
Depending on your PoD, how does it effect German unification,
 
If William I's two sons both die without issue, the next heir is his daughter Marianne, who is married to Prince Albert of Prussia, youngest son of King Frederick William III. That should do it.
 
Having Belgian Revolt would mean that the Netherlands would border France and likely be a target for French Revanchism especially given the French speaking Walloons in Belgium; in addition the Netherlands would be a stronger and more appealling ally to say Prussia during it's consolidation into Germany. Such a situation could encourage an Alliance and perhaps a royal marriage which would mean the House of Hohenzollern might ascend to the throne at some point.
 
The Great Elector of Brandenburg Prussia spent his exile in The Netherlands during the Thirty Years War, which is the reason why the family converted to Calvinism. It's not unreasonable to imagine a timeline where he is offered the crown of the Netherlands IMHO, most likely if France annexes Belgium/the Spanish Netherlands, prompting the Dutch to want a reasonably strong protector.
 
This is very intresting. If it actually happened, is it possible that Brandenburg/Prussia could be ruled in a personal union or is that not possible?

The thirty year war is both too late for that and too early. Too late, because at that point the trappings of the republic were already made, so the Netherlands would not want a king anymore, not did it need a protector (besides that France was an ally durung the thirty year war). Too early since at that point Brandenburg was not important or strong enough yet to become a protector of the Netherlands.

I would say that it is very unlikely for a non-Nassau to become king (or stadholder) of the Netherlands. It was the power of the Orange-Nassau family that made the Netherlands a kingdom and it would not accept another family (which is why the royal family is still known as Orange-Nassau, even after 3 ruling queens).
