As the summer residence of the Grand Dukes of Baden, Badenweiler was a popular spa town in southwestern Germany in the late 19th century. It was often caught up in the political turmoil of the time: Influenced by the ideas of the French Revolution and shaped by Napoleon’s vision of establishing a Confederation of the Rhine as a neutral zone between the great powers of France, Austria, and Prussia, the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach—also known as the Markgräflerland—evolved into the Grand Duchy of Baden during the Congress of Vienna. Join us as we explore this pivotal period in German history on a stroll through this gem of the Markgräflerland.
