Object history

Deutsch: Das Dorf Baden ging um 1100 in den Besitz von Hermann II. aus der Familie Zähringen über, der sich nach der Stadt Graf von Baden nannte. Im 13. Jahrhundert erhielt die Stadt Stadtrechte und wurde Hauptstadt der Grafschaft Baden, seit 1535 deren Zweig Baden-Baden. Bis ins frühe 18. Jahrhundert blieb sie Hauptstadt.
Die Stadt führte seit jeher das Wappen der Grafen von Baden als Wappen. Das älteste bekannte Siegel stammt aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, ist aber erst seit 1421 bekannt. Das Wappen hat sich seitdem also nie geändert.

English: The village became around 1100 a possession of Hermann II of the Zähringen family, who named himself after the town, Count of Baden. During the 13th century the town received city rights and became the capital of the County of Baden, since 1535 of the branch Baden-Baden. It remained the capital until the early 18th century.
The city has always used the arms of the Counts of Baden as its arms. The oldest known seal dates from the 14th century, but is known only since 1421. The arms thus have never changed since.
