Baden (/ˈbɑːdən/; German: [ˈbaːdn̩]) is a historical German territory. Together with Württemberg and the former Prussian Province of Hohenzollern, two other historical territories, it forms the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg. The margraves of Baden originated from the house of Zähringen.[1] Baden is named after the margraves’ residence Hohenbaden Castle [de] in Baden-Baden. The capital of the Grand Duchy of Baden was Karlsruhe.



History


Following the dissolution of the old Duchy of Swabia, Baden underwent a history which can be summarized as follows:




  • Margraviate of Baden (1112–1806)


  • Electorate of Baden (1803–1806)


  • Grand Duchy of Baden (1806–1918), enlarged to four or five times the size of the Margraviate.[1]


  • Republic of Baden (1918–1945)


After World War II this territory was subdivided between Württemberg-Baden and South Baden. Finally, the state of Baden-Württemberg was formed in 1952.
