Border treaty between Baden and Hesse
The border treaty between the Grand Duchy of Baden and the Grand Duchy of Hesse of September 8, 1810 belongs to a cascade of treaties that were concluded in Paris in 1810 between the states of Bavaria , Württemberg , Baden and Hesse. In contrast to the long-term provisions of the other treaties, the border between Baden and Hesse created in the present treaty only lasted until the Congress of Vienna ; In 1816, Hessen ceded the areas that had been preserved in 1810 to Bavaria.
Political requirements
The preamble to the treaty, which was not concluded by chance in Paris , pragmatically states that, according to the treaties concluded with France , the "Carlsruher Hof should cede an area bordering Hesse with a population of 15,000 souls to Darmstadt". With this contract, the area exchanges in southern Germany were concluded. As compensation for the profits made by Tyrol and Salzburg, Bavaria ceded areas in the west to Württemberg, which then compensated Baden and Hesse in turn.
Contracting parties
Grand Duke Karl Friedrich von Baden appointed his Minister of the Interior, Baron Conrad Karl Friedrich von Andlau-Birseck , and Grand Duke Ludwig I of Hesse appointed his envoy, Baron August Wilhelm von Pappenheim, as plenipotentiary. The contract fixes the borderline and specifies in detail the assignment of the territory of Baden to Hessen.
The logically preceding border treaties between Bavaria and Württemberg on May 18, 1810 and Württemberg and Baden on October 2, 1810 were also concluded in Paris .
