Rastatt

The splendid baroque residences of the city bring the glorious history of the Margraves of Baden back to life

Rastatt is located on the Upper Rhine in Baden-Württemberg and is closely linked to the history of the Baroque period and the Margraviate of Baden. In the 18th century, under Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm (“Türkenlouis”), the city developed into an important royal seat, a legacy that is still reflected today in the magnificent Rastatt Palace—one of the oldest Baroque palaces on the Upper Rhine. Türkenlouis led troops of the Holy Roman Empire against the Ottoman armies and played a key role in driving them out of Central Europe. Rastatt also played a political role, for example at the Congress of Rastatt at the end of the 18th century.
