History

Origins

The Zähringerplatz Berthold I. received in 1061 as a replacement for him actually promised Duchy of Swabia, the title of Duke of Carinthia and of a Markgraf of Verona. Berthold's son Hermann I, who inherited by marrying Judit from Backnang- Sulichgau Its owners around today's Baden -Baden, received by Berthold Margrave title and transferred it to his dominion.

The son Hermann, Hermann II, is designated the first time as Margrave of Baden. The oldest known representation of the coat of arms Margrave of Baden found on a seal Hermann V., ie before 1243. However, it is generally at pictures more that oblique beams was already being used by Hermann II. The colors gold and red is attributed to the crest of Zaehringen that led a red eagle on gold (also the reverse color sequence is called ). The importance of the inclined beam is not clear, although for example Ströhl speculates, citing other arms with sloping beams that oblique beams symbolizes the escort right of Margrave of Verona over the St. Gotthard.

Mostly this is a split plate with oblique beams and deer antler has been demanded. However, the traditionalists could not prevail. Even today, however, that alone standing Baden coat of arms has a against " Stuttgart " and " the Swabians " directed symbolism, which is linked to the dispute over the creation of the State of Baden- Wuerttemberg and often can thus be found in places where Baden localism is to be displayed. Mostly this is a grand-ducal coat of arms or of the State of Baden is used. The coat of arms of Baden is officially still in the crown of the great country coat of arms of Baden -Württemberg and in the arms of a large number of local authorities in the province.
