Baden
The Margraviate of Baden was a Zähringen state on the Upper Rhine, centred on Baden and its castle above the hot springs. In 1337 Margrave Herman IX ruled the Baden-Eberstein branch of the divided house.
Bernard I of Baden-Baden reunited most of the lands in 1391, but they were divided again in 1535 into Baden-Baden and Baden-Durlach, later Catholic and Protestant respectively. Charles Frederick reunited them in 1771. As Baden expanded across Swabia, he became an elector in 1803 and grand duke in 1806.
