The Grand Duchy of Baden was a country in Europe that used to have a ruler called a Grand Duke. Today, this area is part of modern Germany. It was located in the southwest of Germany, right next to the Rhine River.
The Grand Duchy of Baden existed from 1806 until 1918. Its capital city was Karlsruhe.
The Grand Duke and his family were called "Highness." The person who was next in line to become Grand Duke was known as the Hereditary Prince. This person was given the special title of "Royal Highness."
The Grand Duchy stopped being a country with a Grand Duke in 1918. This happened after a big change in Germany called the German Revolution, which ended many royal families' rule.
