In 1298, he married Euphemia (d. 1333), a daughter of Count Albrecht II of Hohenberg-Rotenburg. This marriage had been mediated by Emperor Rudolf I himself, and brought an end to many years of rivalry between the Swabian Counts of Zollern and Hohenberg.

Friedrich VII died after 6 October 1309. After his death, the County of Zollern was inherited by his younger brother Friedrich VIII.

Friedrich and Euphemia had two sons:

  • Fritzli I (d. 1313), Lord of Zollern
  • Albrecht (d. 1320), married Guta of Gutenstein
