Baden-Baden is a town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is located on the western foothills of the Black Forest, on the banks of the Oos River, in the region of Karlsruhe. Contents The German word 'Baden' translates as 'to bath/bathe'. The springs of Baden-Baden were known to the Romans, and the foundation of the town is referred to the emperor Hadrian by an inscription of somewhat doubtful authenticity. The name of Aurelia Aquensis was given to it in honour of Aurelius Severus, in whose reign it would seem to have been well known. Fragments of its ancient sculptures are still to be seen, and in 1847 remains of Roman vapour baths, well preserved, were discovered just below the New Castle. The town was named Baden (without the repetition) in the Middle Ages. From the 14th century down to the end of the 17th, Baden-Baden was the residence of the margraves of Baden, to whom it gave its name. They first dwelt in the Old Castle, the ruins of which still occupy the summit of a hill above the town, but in 1479, they moved to the New Castle, which is situated on the hillside nearer to the town, and is renowned for its subterranean dungeons. During the Thirty Years' War, Baden-Baden suffered severely from the various combatants, especially from the French, who pillaged it in 1643 and left it in ashes in 1689. The margrave Louis William (popularly known as Türkenlouis) moved to Rastatt in 1705. In 1931, the town of Baden-Baden was officially given its double name which is the short form for "Baden in Baden" (i.e. Baden in the state of Baden). This was already in common use to distinguish the town from Baden bei Wien and Baden im Aargau. In both World Wars, the town escaped destruction. After World War II, Baden-Baden became the headquarters of the French forces in Germany and the site of a displaced persons camp. Under the supervision of the French Air Force, an airfield was constructed at Baden-Söllingen between the Black Forest and the Rhine River; the runway and associated facilities were completed in June 1952. Between 1988 and 1993, the base was home to the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment (3RCR). >From September 23 to September 28, 1981, the XIth Olympic Congress took place in the Kurhaus in Baden-Baden. The Baden Airpark is located 15 km west of Baden-Baden. The Russian writer Dostoevsky wrote The Gambler while compulsively gambling at the famous Baden-Baden Casino.[1] Former US President Bill Clinton was so taken by this little town that he stated "Baden-Baden is so nice they had to name it twice"[2] The England Football Team were based here during the 2006 FIFA World Cup. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce Herzog" <joyce.herzog@gmail.com> To: <baden-wurttemberg@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 10:18 AM Subject: Re: [BW] Hemsbach, Baden > Thank you, Patrick.
