History
Founding and naming
The founder of the dynasty of the Margrave of Baden was Herman I (1052–74), the elder son of the Zähringer Berthold II (1024–78). His son, Earl Herman II, Count of Breisgau called himself first Margrave of Limburg, then in 1112, the first Margrave of Baden. He had the area around Baden-Baden by balancing Zähringer with the Hohenstaufen to the Duchy of Swabia, acquired and led the inherited the March of Verona from his father — in conjunction with the new center of power, the Hodenhagen Castle in Baden-Baden.
