From the Grand Duchy to the Present: Discover the history of the House of Baden after 1918, get to know Grand Duchess Hilda, and learn more about the Margrave of Baden’s family today.
In 1918, the Grand Duchy of Baden became the Republic of Baden. But how did the history of this noble family—which dates back more than 800 years—unfold after that? Who was Hilda of Baden, the last Grand Duchess to be laid to rest here in the burial chapel? And how do Bernhard, Margrave of Baden, and his family live today? Answers to these and many other fascinating questions are provided during the tour of the House of Baden’s burial site.
