Life and politics in Baden were once strongly influenced by France. The founding of Karlsruhe, the Baden Revolution, the founding of the German Empire in 1871, the pyramid, the coin, the constitution, Michelin—connections to France can be found in all areas. Napoleon visited the city, his adopted daughter Stephanie married the heir to the Baden throne, Karl, and fashion and culture were dictated by France. Join us on a journey through German-French history, which was not always smooth sailing, but ultimately had a happy ending.
