New Prince of Baden

I'm compiling my own geneology of all the descendants of Queen Victoria. It's been as daunting as it sounds, thanks to alot of mistaken birth/death dates and locations. I'm finally finished, except for a couple minor details, one of which is the impending marriage of Prince Aimone of Savoy and Princess Olga of Greece, which I've impatiently been awaiting for several months now The other is the current nameless state of Prince Bernhard of Baden's third child. From Nettyroyal.nl:

Prince Bernhard and Princess Stephanie von Baden had their third son on Sunday. The baby was born at the Elisabethen-Krankenhaus in Ravensburg at 10.40am. Prince Bernhard said: "I am very happy and am very thankful, that my wife and our child are healthy and doing well." Traditionally the name of the baby will only become known when he is baptised.

Anyway, I'm just curious to know, is there any info about when this little prince will be christened? How long after his brothers were born were they christened? I know for some of the reigning royals, the christenings were held about three to four months after the baby's birth, as in the case of Christian, Sverre Magnus and Leonor. Can we expect something similar with this new prince? Any help would be mucho appreciated!

There is a princess named " Caroline Louise of Baden, Princess of Hesse-Darmstadt

This goes back a long way, and I guess a google search may give you some info. Here are the basics:

Carolina Louisa (born 1723 and died at Paris in 1783), daughter of Ludwig VIII, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt, and Countess Charlotte of Hanau-Lichtenberg und Muntzenberg;
married in 1751 as his first wife Karl Friedrich (1728-1811), successively Margrave of Baden-Durlach, Margrave of Baden, Elector of Baden, and Grand Duke of Baden from 1806.
His reign of 73 years gives Karl Friedrich the longest reign in modern history.
They had three surviving sons.

 

[ChantalC]

Thank you for the information on Caroline Lousie of Baden, Warren
I am wondering if there is any books about her in English and also, Is there any websites I can find anything about her with along pictures of her? Hope this is not trouble to ask..

I didn't realise you meant this Karoline Louise of Baden - there's a biography of her, a book about her art collections (still to be seen in Karlsruhe) and a chapter in a book about the women of the house of Baden, but all these books are in German, unfortunately.


This is the one about the women of Baden:
Borchardt-Wenzel, Annette
Die Frauen am badischen Hof. Gefährtinnen der Großherzöge zwischen Liebe, Pflicht und Intrigen
Katz 2001
ISBN 3925825800,

that's the biograpy:
Jan Lauts
Karoline Luise Von Baden
Karlsruhe Verlag C.F. Muller 1980

and this is the book including an article about her art collections:
Kircher, G. ,
Karoline Luise von Baden als Kunstsammlerin. Schilderungen und Dokumente zur Geschichte der Badischen Kunsthalle in Karlsruhe. Karlsruhe, Müller, 1933. 8°. VIII, 230 S. mit 24 ganzs. Abb. auf Taf. Oln. mit goldgepr. Rückentitel u. goldgepr. Deckelvignette


This is a guide through the exhibition in her honour in 1983 - 20 years after her death:
CAROLINE LOUISE. Markgräfin von Baden 1723-1783. Ausstellung anläßl. der 200. Wiederkehr ihres Todesjahres
Karlsruhe. Badisches Landesmuseum 1983. 251 S. zahlr. tls. farb. Abb. OKt.

Sorry, I couldn't find anything in English, but it might be worth to contact the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe and ask if they have any material (guidebooks, catalogues etc. in English).

If you use the German way to write her name "Karoline Luise von Baden" and google that for pictures, you'll get some.

Hope this helps.
Greetings from Germany, Jo

 

[ChantalC]

Thank you for your help to find some books about Karoline Luise von Baden, Jo of Palatine I understand they are in German, but I will try my best to ask if they have anything about her in English. I don't speak German. I only speak English. I noticed you live in Germany which is why you probably speak German. Hope I will find anything interesting about Karoline Luise von Baden in English.

Prince Bernhard von Baden announced that the Family is selling Salem Castle, until the End of the Year. The auction is due to the 30 000 000 € in debts. For many decades, the family tried to avoid this step, but now it seems inevitable.
The idea of seing precious manuscripts of the Baden library being auctioned had however raised protests.

The Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg has announced that the Country Baden-Württemberg would try the buy the castle if a sale will be necessary.

 

[Harold]

Isn't Salem the main seat of the House? If it is sold where will they live?

Isn't Salem the main seat of the House? If it is sold where will they live?

The Margrave and his wife live in a part of the Castle. Hereditary Prince Bernhard and his Family life on an Island close to the Castle. No Idea where the live in the case of an sale.

 

[Lichtenstein]

The argument about the arts collection between the Baden family and Baden-Württemberg is in the next round:

Badische Neueste Nachrichten, 19.12.2007: Land verhandelt mit Haus Baden
... Laut der Expertise gehört der Großteil der umstrittenen Kulturschätze dem Land. Lediglich Werte von 5,6 Millionen Euro schlägt das Gutachten dem Markgrafenhaus zu.

In short: expert meaning is that most of the culture goods in question do already belong to the country Baden-Württemberg. Only a minor part is still in posession of the Markgrafenhaus Baden.

How did they accumulate these debts?

 

[Warren]

Bad investments.

 

[sinulord]

I would love to know the approximate value of Schloss Salem. Must be worth a fortune. Just curious that's all.

Perhaps Stefan or another member can give their insight regarding this matter.
