Stories of women who shaped Baden and the world

Burned as witches, harassed as servants, revered as charitable noblewomen, admired as argumentative artists, daughters of industrialists or as politicians, you will get to know more about the strong women of Baden and their lives during this city tour.

Since the Middle Ages, women were branded as devil's decoys and abominations of nature by the general population and the church, who defined their place in society. Even the Reformed and Lutherans treated women without any form of respect, justified by biblical writings which emphasized men's authority over women. It was only in the 20th century that women's rights slowly started to improve. On a narrated walk from the "Bahnhofplatz" at the train station to the Villa Boveri, you will hear moving stories and brave deeds of women living in Baden - then and now.
