History
The Generallandesarchiv originated in 1803, when the Margravate Baden was converted into the Grand Duchy of Baden. The records of the Margraves of Baden remain the historical focus of the Generallandesarchiv.In 1905 the Generallandesarchiv moved into a new, and at the time very modern, building. The Generallandesarchiv is still in the same building, which is now considered a historic monument. On 1 January 2005, due to recent administration reform in Baden-Württemberg, the Generallandesarchiv became a department of the Landesarchiv.
