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.
